Words and pictures tell
simple stories, sometimes with unexpected twists, featuring Thumb Thumb Thambi and
Thumb Thumb Thangi and their world of thumbprints.
The books use words from a child's rich and
spontaneous spoken
vocabulary rather than from a
formal, graded one. Short sentences, bold
type and vibrant pictures make reading effortless and enchanting.
At the end of the story, children are encouraged to
make drawings using their own thumbprints. Each book
carries on the last page the line, 'I can read this book.' Each time a child reads this out aloud, it affirms the young reader's
place in the world of books. Thumb Thumb books
offer a dynamic, creative
space in which to learn to read.
