Touch and Feel Hockey

Young lovers of hockey will unite over this colourful and fun board book. Readers will learn about the puck, jersey, stick and zamboni machine. Paired with textures that match the subjects, Touch and Feel Hockey is the perfect place to acquire a knowledge of Canada’s favourite winter game.

The illustrations in this book stand out. The photographs are real and paired with a digital element. For example, the page with the goalie has a photograph of a female goalie in front of a hockey net. The net comes to life with a piece of mesh that’s used to illustrate the net.

Touch and Feel Hockey will introduce readers to hockey and stimulate conversation. Information on the back of the book notes that reading stimulates language development, promotes hand-eye coordination and stimulates adult-child interaction. Reading is essential to helping children learn to read and write, and it’s never too early to start. Children will benefit from having Touch and Feel Hockey in their collection.
