March 2015, Autumn Publishing, 10 pages, Board book, Review copy
Summary from Amazon UK (who I don't gain anything from mentioning them - the Autumn Pubishing website was down)
These Carry Me companions offer pre-schoolers the perfect introduction
to essential first learning skills. Trace and Chase focuses on early pen
control, and Shapes introduces the child to drawing first shapes.
Offering little ones the opportunity to draw and encourage pen control
and building confidence in early writing skills. The wipe clean pen
means mistakes are never kept simply wipe it off and try again!
Nayu's thoughts
This
sturdy wipe clean read is perfect for the intended readership. Each double page looks at one shape. Readers are asked to
feel the shape – that's why the grade isn't perfect, the nature of
definition to feel suggests that there is going to be a different
texture around the shape for the reader to feel with their fingers,
but there wasn't. The next step is tracing around the shape – there
are lots of dots around each shape to be used as a guide to draw
around the shape. Then the next page has a huge space for practicing
the shape. Or, if you're an older reader like me, drawing funny faces
^o^
