The individual nursery rhymes appear in large print and Braille on the left-hand side of the book. Facing the rhymes, on the right-hand side of the book, are the actual tactile drawings. This booklet, like the nursery rhymes book itself, is in print and Braille. Twice, the reader is coaxed to be sure to explore the whole page - not at all a redundant move, since it is easy to miss an interesting or fun detail. Even after sharing the book's contents with my daughter several times, and looking at each illustration for several minutes, I am continually amazed at the elements I have missed.
Many blind children have no idea what a hen or a sheep or a cow looks like.
Unlike Shapely-CAL, there is no added color on the illustrations, which potentially compromises its attraction for sighted children and those with some light perception. Even younger toddlers should be supervised in the care of this wonderful book. However, as with all CAL products, the attention to detail and care taken with respect to both the illustrations and their descriptions is first-rate. Blind children's options for illustrated books are practically nil, and mediocre at best. There are many agencies and nonprofit organizations catering to the relatively tiny market of blind children.
