Yes, it's a talking map of the United States. I got it on Blind Mice
Megamall, but it's Melissa and Doug, so you can probably find it on Amazon
or at Toys R Us or wherever.

I was just experiencing this same dilemma with my daughter. I went to Big
Lots with her and picked up a puzzle book. It's the cutest book with a small
puzzle on each page of Elmo doing different things. Well, it didn't work out
so well! We spent an hour trying to do one page. I was almost in tears. Now
my son on the other hand was always able to put a puzzle together lickity
split. I was so excited! Where did you find the map of the U.S.? Is this a
talking one?

I hope someone can give me a few pointers. I’m at the end of my wits trying
to help my daughter with jigsaw puzzles. She really enjoys them, and her
sighted dad has tried to show her how to look at the pieces and match them
by what part of the picture they belong to, as well as shape and size. She
really wants me to do the puzzles with her, but we inevitably end up with a
pile of pieces and a whole lot of frustration. And these are fairly simple
puzzles, some are the wooden 24-piece ones from Melissa and Doug, and a
couple are small Veggie Tales or Bible story puzzles. I tried to label one
with braille letters on the back, but it didn’t help much. Now the talking
ones are great. My little girl can put the puzzle of the fifty states
together all by herself. I hope there’s some ingenious way I just haven’t
thought of to help her with the non-talking puzzles.
Thanks,
Jo Elizabeth
