DK Braille LEGO DUPLO Farm (DK Braille Books)

very good book raised animals as well as. The animals are duplo so not sure how this would be recognised without the child having the Duplo farm set?

Bought this to teach children about hidden disabilities. They were amazed how blind people read and loved to feel the braille and read out loud

Lovely little braille book. Brought with a set of duplo too for my daughter to help understand the pictures and story by feeling the toy at the same time.

The DK Braille Farm book from Lego Duplo is fantastic. It’s incredibly simple taking pictures of actual animals and characters from the Duplo range and combining them with a short story. For a parent with visual difficulties there is Braille below each sentence and to help show where each picture is, the pictures have a raised outline – the sheep even has a bit of texture to its wool. For a young child learning their animals, it also provides that extra sensory element as they can feel the outlines too. I quite liked how it was written because it does have a bit of a rhyme to it and they’ve even added metallic elements e.g. a blue metallic/mirrored pond for the ducks and a red metallic coat on a horse which is really attention grabbing. It also links so well into the farm Duplo so if the child has this set they can match the animals to the book bringing it to life. Highly recommended for a young child.

My friend is blind and expecting a baby. I was looking for a book that she can read with her child. This is perfect. It’s a shame that the other books in this range are more expensive.

What a lovely little book this is. The story is written in both English and Braille and all the pictures are surrounded by a raised outline so it is perfect for children with and without visual impairment. It is perfect for both home and childcare situations and it is wonderful to see that the DK and the Lego people are making a joint effort to provide products for children with special needs. It is also a very good quality product with easy to clean surfaces that can withstand the onslaught of toddlers.

It's a good book for any child who has a blind realtive so they can read along too. It's a standard book for the age 3-5 group. For example it has sentences like, 'This happy farmer has a farm.' The pictures are OK and use the duplo type characters. I wouldn't say the illustrations are great but at this age you're really after simple sentences and simple non distracting pictures. The Braille accompanies the text and allows the book to be shared between sighted and unsighted. It can also simply give a child an insight into Braille if they were interested in learning this language.

Brilliant little book for visually impaired pre-schoolers. There is braille as well as written text supplemented with bright, fun illustrations that are embossed so they can be felt too. A sturdy, well designed educational aid and family reading book.
