Book of Nursery Rhymes

Photo: Humpty-Dumpty and Other Touching Rhymes

Childhood's best-loved nursery rhymes pair with tactile illustrations that portray each story element, presented in print and braille. Shapes, sequences and textures cleverly depict elements and action, so that readers "see" what's going on: e.g., the action of the rain falling from the clouds and then puddling on the ground in "Rain, Rain, Go Away."

The book is bound in a bright yellow cover and contains eight popular rhymes familiar to children. A separate text interprets detail.
