Product Description
The Caterpillar is a fun and engaging book that can be enjoyed by people with or without visual impairment. This read-aloud tactile storybook with large print/braille text (contracted UEB) is designed to assist young children in developing key literacy skills such as listening comprehension, phonological awareness, oral language, and object/ shape recognition. Right away, you are introduced to a fuzzy caterpillar who lives in the narrator’s back yard. Whether it is a brick wall, a fence, or a foot, the caterpillar finds himself crawling over various tactile surfaces throughout the course of this book. As the story concludes, the caterpillar is shown what he will soon become, a beautiful butterfly which can be detached and reattached to the last page.
Initially produced in 1993, The Caterpillar now contains a completely rewritten text with exciting tactile illustrations containing textures and objects rather than the raised line drawings used in the original book. In addition, the new text has received colorful and enhanced visual illustrations, an updated illustrated cover, and a binding instead of a ring binder.
