Beautiful photos and unique textures

All of the DK (publisher) books have gorgeous photographs, and this one is no exception. The photos are sharp and bright and the animals are highlighted against a white background, which makes them look like they are about to jump off the page. The textures in this book are really unique too. So many of the touch and feel books have all the same textures (fur, sandpaper, etc). This book has really unique and interesting textures (e.g. a cool, rubbery, soft, smooth surface for the dolphin - it really feels like the skin of sea mammals I have touched; and a bumpy shiny surface for the lizard skin). My 14 month old daughter really enjoys feeling all the different textures and "reading" this book to herself. Highly recommended.

A great hands on book!

Well, as a mom of a now-16 month old, I have to say that the "Touch and Feel" guys have "Pat the bunny" beat hands down. My son loves the diverse textures of this one and at a time when he rarely sits still for an entire book, we go through this one several times before he moves on. I love the diverse animals and the large "touching" sections. My only complaint is that the sticky patches for the tree frog lost their stickiness in about a week. Just proves that it is well loved already!

great book

my 5 month old loves to touch all the animals,it's a fun little book and this is a great price!

Great for busy toddlers

We own all of the Touch and Feel series, and my 15-month-old son loves them all. This one is his favorite because the textures are so different--the rough lizard, the sticky tree frog, and the furry lion. It keeps him busy at church, on plane flights, and at other times when his attention needs to be directed in a quiet manner. I would buy more of these books if there were more published!

Great book!!

Our daughter absolutely loves this book. It is better than any other book/toy/blanket I have ever seen on textures for infants/toddlers to touch. Our daughter particularly loves animals, so she loves the pictures as well. I plan to buy the farm one, too.
