Although there really isn't much of a "story" to this touch & feel book - it is one of my son's FAVORITE books! He won't sit still for a regular book/board book but LOVES the different textures on each page of this one. Highly recommend!
I love reading to my daughter and this one is one of our favorites. I enjoy watching her touch and feel all the different fabrics. She really enjoys reading time and I enjoy seeing her experience and absorb all the educational books I purchase for her. I am a huge fan of Peter Rabbit and this is a wonderful book.
Unlike so many touch and feel books, this one has a wide variety of textures. They made a leaf of lettuce out of satin, and even ran a basting stitch down the center to make the lettuce rib look right and give it the added texture of the ripples in the leaves of lettuce! There are one or two very soft furry areas, and the rest are other textures. There is an embossed thick paper for a turtle's shell on one page, the satin lettuce leaf as noted above on another page, and a shiny, iridescent area on another page for water. Beatrix Potter's typical figures and illustration style are showcased, so it has the same, classic feel to it as her timeless tales. It's a pretty good size in terms of dimensions, and every page has something for a little one to touch and explore. Although I purchased this for my infant son for his Easter basket, I fully expect that our three, almost four-year-old girl will want to play with it and read it too. In all honesty, who am I kidding? I fully expect I will pet those "touch me" areas as I read it, too. I will admit to loving kid's books and toys even as I adore books made for my own age range. This is an especially nice children's book that will let my infant be exposed to Beatrix Potter in a good way a little earlier than I would normally start reading her classic series.
My first grandchild is 6 months old and only just now discovering books. This book is perfect for snuggling with a small child. The stiff cardboard pages protect it; the illustrations are beautiful; and the touch-and-feel pages are wonderful for infants. The first time I held the book up to her, she held out her arms and reached for it, and she sat still and attentive for two read-throughs--at six months! This is because it was "active" reading--she could touch fuzzy things and admire shiny things. Her favorite page was the one with the glittery fish. As a lover of books, it brought me great joy to introduce my grandbaby to this one. I highly recommend this book for the very young.
Lovely child's book. If I had a complaint it was that I wanted more pages. Each turn of the page had one whole picture with two "feeling" materials. So there were only five picture scenes in total not counting the cover which features Peter Rabbit with a " furry" stomach. It was definitely worth the money especially since I bought a second hand copy which was no different as far as I could see than a brand new one. But it is a book that you will want to keep forever.
I ordered this to give to my baby granddaughter next month, so we haven't shown it to baby yet. I looked through the pages and it's very cute for the price. It has several different materials on the pages to touch. I got the hardcover edition and it's like a board book, but larger. I'm happy with it.
This book has a great story, of course, but it also has a large number of different materials for child to touch.
Bought this for my 8 month old grand daughter who was fascinated to touch, feel, and discover all the different textures. She was totally into the shiney sparkly fish! Next bes thing was the fluffy robin. Couldn't stop touching them, and wanting to go back to those pages. This is a sturdy board book, a simple read that holds baby's attention, and the soft adorable Beatrix Potter illustrations are perfect for baby's mind and visual pleasure. I highly recommend this book.
