[blparent] Print and Braille letters

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I just ordered the letter and number puzzles, and the US map puzzle, from 
Blind Mice Mega Mall.  The puzzles came today.  They're well made and pretty 
cute, and my daughter is fascinated with them.  When you put a piece in, the 
puzzle talks, so it's good for teaching letters and numbers.  On the letter 
puzzle, each letter piece has a picture under it of something that starts 
with that letter.  The state puzzle has pictures on some of the pieces, 
too--apples for Washington, potatoes for Idaho, a polar bear for Alaska, a 
pineapple for Hawaii, the Golden Gate Bridge for California, etc.  The only 
problem I've encountered with the puzzles is that sometimes they talk when 
they aren't supposed to because they talk when light is blocked.  So on her 
way to put California in, the puzzle announces Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and 
New Mexico.  That's kind of confusing.

brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and 
died in cotton fields and sweatshops.--Stephen Jay Gould

Hi Dianna:

A friend of mine had introduced me to a website called www.seedlings.org. 
There you can find books that are in print/braille that are either 
contracted braille or uncontracted braille.  They range from 5 dollars to 10 
or 11 dollars.  I saw an alphabet book on there.  Or you can also go onto 
www.nbp.org.  They also have books in both print and braille.  their prices 
are also very reasonable.  I hope this helps.

Agnes
