Touch and Trace ABC is a distinctive board book using humorous, quirky sentences and colorful illustrations to introduce the alphabet to babies. Young children can trace the raised shapes of the letters of the alphabet to familiarize themselves with how they look and begin to practice the hand-eye coordination skills required for writing. Each letter is accompanied by silly sentences and illustrations like "A lobster on a lemon," "An octopus in an office," and "A yak doing yoga." Talking about the pictures helps to familiarize babies with patterns of speech.
