" Pat the Bunny,", the 1940 classic touch-and-feel book, is still in print-a testament to the value of touch in introducing infants and toddlers to the world of reading.

These are some of their observations: "You actually feel like you are reading because the book is in your hands,", and "I like feeling the paper and pen under my hands, being able to physically form words."
