"TouchThinkLearn: 123 is another large-trim, gifty book with the recognizably innovative production. This book is at once a counting book and a guessing game. Each page has a number, counting up from one, of circular die-cuts that conceal a simply designed animal underneath. One dot turns into a glow-worm, three dots turns into a duck, and ten dots a dinosaur!"-- Less

A colors book with no colors? Instead, die-cuts to peek through and find them yourself. This introduction to colors integrates the reader's surroundings into carefully considered die-cut silhouettes, providing children the space to visually experiment. Readers will gaze around the room through a rooster-shaped hole in search of something red, through a sun-shaped hole for something yellow, through squiggly worms for something pink. Designed for the youngest readers, this sturdy board book features 12 die-cuts made to flip and carry on a color-seeking mission. Inspired by the Whitney Museum's approach to looking at art, these books provide a new way to look at the world. Less
