Touchwords: Food

　　《Touch Think Learn》基礎認知硬頁觸摸書色彩明亮，圖畫線條簡單，立體的凹凸設計適合寶寶小手觸摸。

　　透過每一頁的主題安排，孩子可以認識包括豌豆、湯、雞蛋、牛奶、米等許多不同種類食物，接著再從這些基本概念擴大到其他字彙。例如在雞蛋的主題裡，延伸出蛋黃、蛋白、殼、黃色、橢圓形、裂開、半打等字，米飯的章節裡則是有穀物、白色、棕色、攪拌、沸騰、蒜頭、香菜、黏等實用單字，生活化的主題豐富孩子的單字庫，學習更多詞彙。

　　《Touch Think Learn》基礎認知觸摸書風格極簡，與一般童書相比更重視視覺的質感設計，極具創意，值得收藏擁有。

　　＂This extension of the highly successful TouchThinkLearn series focuses on language acquisition and moving beyond a single word-to-picture understanding to developing a larger vocabulary. This is all using the familiar TTL form of raised and depressed surfaces. Raised words will fit into the die-cut hollow of an illustration, putting words and images in contact literally. Alongside the typographic centerpiece, there will be a list of ＂conversation starter＂ words to expand the vision of each word＂-
