Touch & Tickle

Description

Touch is a baby's first language... Designed to stimulate the senses, and based on research into the benefits of baby exercise and massage, these books encourage interaction between parent and baby. Devoting time to special activities with your baby plays a crucial part in the bonding process. Touch helps to promote feelings of security and confidence. Massage has been shown to encourage relaxation, enhance sleep, improve circulation and digestion, and aid pain relief. It also allows time to explore new feelings and share new experiences.

Baby Gym series " ...perfect for babies in every way ... would make a wonderful baby shower gift for expectant parents or are a perfect gift to give to parents of newborns. Books that encourage parents to share language, rhyme, song and touch with their little ones are the best gift possible. ... They also would be wonderful additions to public library collections needing more good examples of books for the youngest patrons, and could also be used in baby storytimes, with a librarian modeling how to perform the rhymes." -- Sue McLeaf Nespeca * Early Literacy/ Children's Literature Specialist * "The colorful illustrations and interactive rhymes encourage "hands-on" reading." * The Reading Tub *
