- Reading
- Read it together at an unhurried pace. Pause for the repeated questions, invite hands-on exploration of the features, and let each reader choose whether to focus on touch, sight, sound or play.
- Themes
- Inclusive participation: The book is designed to include children with different visual access and was developed through consultation with relevant children, families and organisations. Inclusion is presented as a central design purpose, not merely as a subject mentioned within the journey.
- Sensory and active reading: The journey combines rhyming text with tactile features, high-contrast images and play elements. The book treats reading as an involved, multi-sensory activity rather than only a verbal or visual one.
- Worth knowing
- Notice how the child or children are invited to take part: which choices feel open, and how do the tactile and play features change the shared reading? The ending includes a surprise.
