A FUN AND COLOURFUL GAME-BOOK FOR LEARNING TO OBSERVE, GUESS, AND IMAGINE!

The traffic light is red is a rhyming story about a traffic light that, unexpectedly stopping on red, sends the entire city into a frenzy on a frenetic work day. This is the perfect opportunity to slow down and carefully observe the surprising, curiously strange and unpredictable situation created by this sudden stop.

The special accordion format of the book allows children to handle, open, and fold it, thus developing tactile skills. Visual skills, on the other hand, are trained through the observation of colourful and detailed illustrations, more than a metre long and that glow in the dark, thanks to a special luminescent ink, revealing new curious objects and characters. 

The book is aimed at children aged 3 to 6, and created for practicing multiple types of activities, like:  

• receptive, through listening to the story and looking at the pictures;
• constructive, because it becomes an object to be manipulated and used as a scenario for new stories;
• imaginative, as it stimulates the imagination and creativity of the very young.
