Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

The title works for youngsters with sight as well, since the shapes are rendered in bright primary colors, and silver foil is visible through the die-cut holes. Parents and caregivers who are blind or have low vision will also welcome this title, since they can share it with their little ones.
