About This Book
A parent would reach for this book to introduce their baby or toddler to the joy of reading through multi-sensory exploration. This sturdy board book is a delightful game of hide-and-seek, where little ones are invited to peek through die-cut holes and touch various textures to find their missing dragon. Each page reveals a new dragon with a unique tactile patch, like a bumpy horn or a sparkly wing, building anticipation for the final reveal. The gentle, repetitive text supports early language development. It's a perfect choice for tiny hands (ages 6 months to 3 years), fostering curiosity, fine motor skills, and a positive first experience with books.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
This book is free of sensitive topics. It is a gentle, playful, and purely developmental read.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a child aged 6 months to 2.5 years who is in the sensory-motor stage of development. It is perfect for a baby beginning to explore textures and a toddler learning the concept of object permanence and enjoying repetitive, game-like books.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book is intuitive and can be read cold. Parents can enhance the experience by using expressive voices for the different textures and encouraging the child to touch each patch and poke their fingers through the holes. A parent has noticed their baby is starting to grab for and touch everything, and they are looking for a durable, safe, and stimulating book. Or, a parent wants to start a simple reading routine with their toddler and needs a book that will hold their very short attention span through interaction.
