Other Gift Ideas
Note: These items are NOT part of the special book offer!

Noah's Ark

Set includes: Print/braille picture book, print and braille "Fun Facts About
Noah's Ark," 12 delightful tactiles, all for $28

Stories about a great flood appear in ancient legends all over the world.
The biblical account, told in the Book of Genesis 6-9, tells of a righteous
man, Noah, who builds a large vessel to save his family and a representation
of the world's animals.

National Braille Press is pleased to bring the story, the man, and his
menagerie of animals to life in three ways: a print/ braille book by
five-time Caldecott Award-winner Jerry Pinkney that tells the story of Noah;
twelve delightful tactiles by tactile artist Ann Cunningham; as well as a
booklet called Fun Facts About Noah's Ark that tells you things about
turtles, penguins, giraffes, elephants, and dragonflies you never knew!

This three-part set is meant to bring hours of conversation and learning to
the whole family or classroom.  Don't wait to order: Noah's Ark makes a
one-of-a-kind gift! 


And don't forget the Braille Caravan!

Join the Braille Caravan - an amazing tactile toy from Creative Adaptations
for Learning. Made in the USA, each block of the caravan represents a
braille cell fashioned in goldenrod non-toxic plastic, with six contrasting
black pegs that glide up or down to form dots 1-6. Use your finger, stylus,
or pencil to push the peg forward from the underside of the block, just as
you would with a slate and stylus. Flip the block over and read what you
wrote. Blocks connect to form a caravan of words, numbers, or sentences -
build, challenge, and hone tactile reading, writing, and spelling skills. 

Braille Caravan includes 30 blocks in a carrying bag, an Activity Guide, and
an English Braille Symbols Chart, for only $34!
