Bought as a Gift for Blind Daughter May 25, 2007
Chad Cheatham (Rockford, IL United States)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this book as a gift for my 11 yr old Daughter who is Blind.
I think the idea of having pictures that she can feel that are also illustrated so that myself and anyone else reading the book with her can see is GREAT! There is also printed text on every page so that sighted people can read it as well.
Out of all of the braille books she owns or has borrowed this is the best one in my opinion.
She was absolutely enthralled by this book.The information is presented in a way that was easy for her to comprehend.When I ordered this books I wasn't sure how she would react to a non-fiction book. I was pleasantly surprised to see that she absolutely loved it. All braille books should be done this well.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book.
Amazing September 22, 2006
M. L. Orth (Tucson, AZ USA)
This book is absolutely amazing. I ordered it for my blind grandson and then ordered another copy for myself. The text is accurate and the illustrations are amazing, awesome and out of this world. The illustrator has truly brought a new level of learning to the blind. Good Job!!!
Wonderful for all ages! July 3, 2006
Lorelei Clark (Southern California, USA)
My 6 year old loves this book. Much of the content will be current and relavant as he gets older and while he may not understand everything now he certainly enjoys it. The book is great for all ages and I have learned quite a bit. Of his library of braille books, this is his absolute favorite!
Touch the Sun: A Nasa Braille Book March 17, 2006
Elizabeth Eagan Satter (Seattle, WA USA)
An excellent book to teach students who are blind or visually impaired about the sun. The tactile representations and the descriptor for each tactile representation are just what is needed to bring these abstract concepts home.
