The special accordion format<\/strong> of the book allows children to handle, open, and fold it, thus developing tactile skills<\/strong>. Visual <\/strong>skills<\/strong>, on the other hand, are trained through the observation of colourful and detailed illustrations<\/strong>, more than a metre long and that glow in the dark, <\/strong>thanks to a special luminescent ink<\/strong>, revealing new curious objects and characters. <\/p>\n

The book is aimed at children aged 3 to 6<\/strong>, and created for practicing multiple types of activities<\/strong>, like:  <\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • receptive, <\/em><\/strong>through listening to the story and looking at the pictures;<\/li>\n
  • constructive<\/em><\/strong>, because it becomes an object to be manipulated and used as a scenario for new stories;<\/li>\n
  • imaginative<\/em><\/strong>, as it stimulates the imagination and creativity of the very young.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
