Evelyn loves Booktouch
Posted Monday February 1st 2010

Jane Mellors, the Hertfordshire Bookstart Development Officer, visited an opportunity group in St Albans and gifted a Booktouch pack to Evelyn (pictured). Claire, Evelyn’s mother, was delighted with the pack and commented:
'Thank you so much for the books you left for Evelyn at the Monday morning disability playgroup. She loves them. I knew she would love That’s Not My Kitten as we have a couple from that group. The pictures are big and bold and bright so she reaches out for them before she even realises there are bits to touch.
Her favourite had been the DK one. The sticky paints page and the tutu she will spend ages touching and smiling.
Spot the Dog she was least interested in. Some of the elements of the pictures are too small for her to see I think. Evelyn is not developed enough to appreciate it as much yet.'
