The paper examines how tactile books can be used to present grammar-related themes, more accurately prepositions. Tactile books are a special type of picture books for the visually impaired and are made in a way to stimulate the reader's other senses as well as sight. For the purpose of this paper I transformed a picture book called Around the House the Fox Chased the Mouse into a tactile one. The picture book's use of prepositions is the main focus of the paper. Cognitive grammar and its view on spatial orientation are also taken into account when discussing prepositions. In the final part of the paper the process of creating a tactile book is described and the finished tactile book is compared to the original picture book. Possibilities of further grammatically themed tactile books are discussed as well as the connection between congenital blindness and conceptual representation.

The Chase is a modern The Fugitive with characters only #1 New York Times and Globe and Mail bestselling author Candice Fox can write. “Are you listening, Warden?” “What do you want?” “I want you to let them out.” “Which inmates are we talking about?” “All of them.” With that, the largest manhunt in United States history is on. In response to a hostage situation, more than 600 inmates from the Pronghorn Correctional Facility, including everyone on Death Row, are released into the Nevada Desert. Criminals considered the worst of the worst, monsters with dark, violent pasts, are getting farther away by the second. John Kradle, convicted of murdering his wife and son, is one of the escapees. Now, desperate to discover what really happened that night, Kradle must avoid capture and work quickly to prove his innocence as law enforcement closes in on the fugitives. Death Row Supervisor, and now fugitive-hunter, Celine Osbourne has focused all of her energy on catching Kradle and bringing him back to Death Row. She has very personal reasons for hating him – and she knows exactly where he’s heading...
