The World's First Islamic Touch & Feel Book in the English Language
Do you wish there were books out there for your baby that were just as high quality as the mainstream but also aligned with your faith?

That's exactly what My Touch & Feel Alif-Baa-Taa provides. This lovely book makes learning Alif-Baa-Taa so much fun, that your child will not only remember the letters, but will have a wonderful time doing so. Here's how: The book uses a range of touch-and-feel materials giving your little one a sensory experience. Each letter has been paired with an everyday Islamic or Arabic word like 'Allah' and 'Zamzam' so your child can build an early association with key Muslim phrases. Every page is illustrated with adorable pictures that will delight your baby's eyes. The book is hardback and its pages are made from thick card, making them durable against the tugs and tears of baby hands.
