Splish splash

- Reading
- Share it at the baby’s pace: pause over a picture, make the suggested sounds and offer opportunities to feel the different surfaces together.
- Themes
- Sensory exploration: The book pairs bold, contrasting imagery and friendly sea-creature pictures with bumpy, smooth and shiny surfaces, simple text and sound prompts. Its design is informational and interactive: it presents sensory features as opportunities for babies to focus, respond and reach, with an adult invited to join in.
- Worth knowing
- The emphasis is on sensory interaction; an adult can follow the baby’s interest in the textures and pictures rather than expecting a conventional plot or extended reading session.
