A Reservoir of Red: Picture Book for Dementia Patients, Seniors & Others (Level 2 Book). This is one of a series of picture books for dementia patients (or those with Alzheimer's), adults and seniors that have trouble reading. If your loved one is overwhelmed by 'normal' books but spry enough to feel offended with books labeled as dementia books or by being given a children's book, this is your answer. This book helps those who have a hard time reading in several ways:
Each book in this series is themed around one color. A Reservoir of Red has photos featuring beautiful red elements from around the globe. The reader will find many delights: From red sailboats off the coast of France to a charming red footbridge in Japan; from a flaming red sunset in Australia to the little red Nomad dragonfly. Those with dementia, Alzheimer's or senior reading struggles can find joy in 'reading' a book that does not need for them to follow a story.
*The book is formatted to look like a 'real' book. It is designed for adults, without any child-like wording or features. This allows your loved one to feel proud to own it as part of their book collection.
* Neither the title nor any text on or in the book states that the book is for dementia or any type of memory/cognitive problems. It is truly concealed so that the reader is not insulted.
* This is a nice, good-sized 8.5 x 8.5 square book with 98 pages that is large enough to really be able to take in the photos, without feeling 'huge'. The soft cover makes it easy to hold. This is not a heavy hard-cover, nor it is a 'board book' that seniors can find condescending.
*The short picture descriptions are in large 16 px text. There are 1 to 3 short sentences per picture. Within each photo description, the word 'red' appears 1 time, to keep the reader on track.
* Each photo (and short text) is only located on the right-side pages of this book. The reader can focus on one image at a time without distraction.
Please note: This is a Level 2 book, which primarily focuses on being a book of photos, along with short accompanying text. If you are looking for purely a picture book without any text at all, please look to the Level 1 books; for 'easy-read' short stories, please look to Level 3 books.
