DESCRIPTION:
This is a unique and fun book to explore the sensory experience of textures When you touch things around you, the way they feel is called "texture." There are many different textures around and as you explore this book, you can imagine what many objects feel like. Two "soft and fluffy" duck slippers peek out at you. Another thing that feels the same way is the whipped frosting on a cake, which also feels "light and spongy" when you eat it. If you are into "sticky and gooey" a nice strawberry jam will feel that way if you get some on your fingers when yo. Laurie Thompson said A very clever concept: exploring textures through photography and words. I must admit, when my own daughter entered kindergarten and started the unit on texture, I was surprised. Yes, textures are all around us, but what's to study? These kids are already experts. After all, they've been feeling textures since before they were born (often with their mouths)!I soon realized that's exactly the point, though. They are all around us, but do we have the words to describe them? Have we really ever thought about how things feel, or why? This isn't important
