{"product_id":"first-words-with-cute-crochet-friends","title":"First Words with Cute Crochet Friends","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery first words book uses photographs or illustrations. This one uses crochet. Lauren Espy hooked every single object in the book by hand, then photographed them, so a toddler learning the word pineapple is looking at an actual yarn pineapple with a green top and a slightly wonky smile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe effect on a small child is immediate. Handmade objects read as friendly in a way that stock photography never manages, and the tactile look of yarn holds attention on a page longer than a flat illustration does. Categories run through the great outdoors, fruits and veggies, pets, on the farm, under the sea, safari animals, forest friends and holiday fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe build is made for the age it targets. A padded cover that softens the inevitable face plant, thick board pages, and a trim small enough for a one year old to carry around the house by themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a bonus for the crafters in the family: many of the creatures photographed here have published patterns in Lauren Espy's crochet books, so a favorite page can become a real toy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paige Tate \u0026 Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48186739523814,"sku":"4856077","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/3862\/3462\/files\/r6-hero-4x5_fa171689-4802-41e1-bebf-6a7e40dcf58f.jpg?v=1786588549","url":"https:\/\/shop.stellarluxe.com\/products\/first-words-with-cute-crochet-friends","provider":"Stellar Luxe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
