As well as being entertained by the stories, the children can touch thecharacters’ fur that has been life-like due to the special design ofthe books. They can feel the softness, smoothness, or roughness of each animal’scoat on each page.
The Touch series is a project of Dinh Ti Book Company forchildren aged up to six years old, including two themes - 'Animal World -A Day in Nature' and 'Animal World - Four Beautiful Seasons'. All the pageswere made with special materials that are safe for children.
"Children aged up to six tend to want to touch and feel due to theirlimited ability to express language, that's the idea that has inspiredthe Touch production team," said Nguyen Thi ThuyDuong, deputy head of Editor Department of Dinh Ti Book Company.
"We thought why not create a book that children can touch directly theobjects and be able to understand real things that they have seen but haven'tbeen able to touch in reality."
According to Tran Le Thu, the vice director of the book company, this is aseries that has been 100 percent made in Vietnam.
"We hope that Touch will not only become a meaningfulgift for Vietnamese parents and children on the occasion of Children's Day butalso helps them enjoy an interesting and meaningful summerholiday," Thu said.
Along with the 'touching' pages, the stories also provide knowledge aboutthe world portrayed in the books. Corresponding to each image on each page areEnglish words that children can memorise to enrich their English vocabulary.
Other features of the Touch books include the audio sectionfor children to listen to the correct pronunciation of English words and someinteractive features for them to learn about numbers.
"When I brought these books home, my daughter was really overjoyed.From a child who was refusing to read books, she immediately took them andheld them in her hands," said Phan Ho Diep, a mother in Hanoi./.
