I like the amount of pages, the many different items, colorful, simple & with large letters. It was tough to buy a book online since you can't thumb through it so here's the details:Page 1: Polka dot shoes (Very slight indentation to reflect dots) Page 2: Socks (actual sock) Page 3: Strawberry (visual - shiny specs) Page 4 Sunflower (silky) Page 5: Bib (visual- small shiny flower on bib) Page 6: Bowl and spoon (Rubbery handle on spoon) Page 7: Cat (very slight indentation to reflect whiskers) Page 8: Dog (soft curly hairs) Page 9: Ball (Visual - Shiny spots) Page 10: Teddy Bear (soft little hairs) Page 11: Car (Visual - shiny rims) Page 12: Doll (soft cotton on dress). Hope this helps!
My 10 month old daughter really enjoys this book. The book seems to be well thought out. It includes a lot of good features that should make it appealing to most babies and not just my daughter.The pages of this book are thick enough young babies to turn, open and close. Some first words book have more than one picture on a page, however, this book only has one picture per page. This helps to grab a young baby's attention and makes it easier for them to understand. Each page has the name of the object/s and a suggestion as to what to say. These tend to be things that you might say to a baby throughout the day such as, "all gone" for bowl and spoon. It is good reinforcement for understanding phrases that a baby already hears in real, everyday situations. The book is also short enough to keep a young baby's attention. However, a caregiver could talk about the pictures more if they wanted to make it longer. Older children could read the words or perhaps read the book to a baby. Another good aspect of the book is that it includes pictures of things that a baby would most likely see each day such as a bowl and spoon, socks, shoes, cat, dog, ball.
I ordered this book for my 8month old daughter who loves touch & feel books. We were disappointed with the size, quality, & quantity of the touch texture areas. Not all of the pages have real textures - only glitter that feels the same as the rest of the page. Also, a number of the pages have such tiny touch areas, she can barely fit her baby fingers in to feel them. I'd say that we have better touch and feel books in our library, but she does still enjoy the books so overall it was a worthwhile purchase.
I don't think this can even be considered a touch and feel book. The spaces to touch are so small and some of them don't even make sense. Why is there a softer feeling/cloth like feel for a spoon? Why does the ball or the cat not have texture at all? This book is terrible. My son is 16 months and has NO interest in it at all. Definitely not worth it.
If you're buying this because it's "Touch and Feel" you'll be disappointed, not much to touch nor feel. I had to return it. I bought others in the same line by DK Publishing and sadly, they were all of the same quality.
I was SUPER disappointed in the lack of things to feel in these books! Some pages (like the ball page) only have like shiny spots - nothing you can feel with your fingers. It really stinks. I wanted like lots of fuzzy spots and raised bumpy textures - not in this one. I wouldn't recommend it. It shouldn't be called a touch and feel book. There's not enough variation in textures.
We purchased two of these touch and feel books for our 15 month old daughter. She loves the pictures and to feel the books. They are a great first book for older babies and young toddlers.
The point of buying the book was to have sections with different textures for my child to feel. The majority of the sections to feel are very very small. Several of them are smooth which is really not different than the texture of the pages but are in a little indented section. There is one page that has what I would say the minimum size should be. I would recommend getting another book if you are interested in your child feeling different textures while learning. Most of their toys are smooth so I think they have that one covered.
