About Little Locksmith Lille Låsesmed
Book Text: Lille Låsesmed er et pædagogisk legetøj i træ til små børn. Legetøjet kombinerer fem sæt nøgler og låse, hver med et forskelligt tema: dyr, frugter, vejr, havliv og køretøjer. Hver låsecylinder passer kun til én nøgle, så børnene øver sig i at genkende former og farver. Hvert låsehus har to vinduer. Det øverste vindue viser genstande, der er knyttet til temaet, og det nederste vindue viser en tilhørende scene, som ændrer sig, når et hjul drejes. Fem billedbøger understøtter historiefortællingen, og låsene kan hænges op på en væg til opbevaring.
