Positives for the book are: +Bilingual edition, so it has English and Spanish +Bright, colorful, bold photography used for illustrations +Textures for tactile engagement.
Minuses: - Very limited range of textures. Some of the stuff baby is supposed to "feel" doesn't really feel different from the rest of the page. -No unifying theme for the book. Objects counted seem a bit haphazard. -Didn't think the toy cars selected were the best example of cars for a young child.
Read this one to E yesterday, not that he cares yet. I like this one though! The pictures are clear, it includes cute animals, and I like the touch and feel bits. I think he'll enjoy this one once he gets to the toddler years.
Children 0-12 months are cognitively developing a readiness for language. The book, Numbers = Números, is an age appropriate bilingual book that fosters vocabulary skills by recognizing and repeating the numbers identified in the book that are also found in the baby’s environment. As a concept book, each photo is labeled and an interactive reading and talking about numbers in the book and child’s environment further supports child’s oral language development and the practice of talking about numbers in real life situations.
As touch-and-feel books go, I'd rank this one near the bottom in terms of textures. But Devin loves the bright pictures and is often found carrying this book around the house, so I guess it can't be that bad. :)
