Learning geometry through the senses
«Les formes géométriques à toucher de Balthazar» by Éditions Hatier Jeunesse tells the story of Balthazar and his friend Pépin who, by observing the nature around them, discover that geometric shapes are at the very heart of their daily activities. Each chapter is associated with the discovery of a particular form with at the very end its relief, textured representation. These rough shapes are integrated into the book itself so that mini, with the help of several senses, can be able to effectively memorize the outline of these shapes and, in the future, recognize them in his daily life.
summary

How about we go out on the sun? said Balthazar.
On the sun? I don't think I've been there, Pepin said.
