This is a tactile developmental toy book, "The Telephone" by Korney Chukovsky, which holds a special place in the world of children's books. This is because it is a new publishing format—a fairy tale beloved by toddlers featuring cool tactile inserts. On each spread of this sturdy cardboard book are bright, colorful illustrations, as well as tactile inserts: soft (mimicking the fur of an elephant or camel), smooth (the telephone receiver), and textured (galoshes). A child can listen to the rhythmic, lively, and humorous text about how various animals call the author all day with incredible requests, while simultaneously touching and feeling different surfaces. Tactile interaction develops fine motor skills, attention, and sensory perception. The fairy tale promotes speech development, memory, a sense of humor, and teaches kindness and responsiveness.
