Los Numeros

Sigmar. Sigmar, $20.7 (12pp) ISBN 978-950-11-1420-1

Editorial Sigmar has the rights to the Spanish-language edition of this Dorling Kindersley series of chubby board books. The DK series ""Touch and Feel"" was published in 2000. These bright and cheerful board books feature splashy full-color photographs of animals, objects, and people. Cutout sections offer tantalizing opportunities for tactile exploration. The colors volume offers pictures of many different kinds of animals; the shapes volume shows an array of different household objects; and the numbers volume has a little bit of everything. The Spanish text is fairly simple and straightforward, with the exception of a few texture-related words that some kids will not have encountered at this early age (e.g., afelpado [plush], rugoso [wrinkled], spero [rough]). Appropriate for public libraries and bookstores. M.O.B.
