Summary
A book for a baby or special needs child (recommended by RNIB) made from fabric which is padded with wadding to make it soft and squashy. It has white poly cotton pages and blue polyester fleece covers which have a random pattern of pink, yellow and white stars. On the front are a yellow fleece rabbit and the title, embroidered in orange. Sewn into the top and side seams of each 'page' are loops of coloured ribbon, each different from the rest. There are six 'pages'. On the inside, each left-hand page has an appliqued animal (kitty, bunny and puppy) made from coloured fleece edged and decorated with embroidery thread, with the animal's name embroidered above. The illustrations are by Kaori Watanabe. Each right-hand page has a colour-printed image of the animal with a two-line verse below. Sewn into the bottom edge are embroidered and printed ribbon labels containing manufacturer's information and the 'TAGGIES' logo.
