Customer Reviews

I'll tell you why the glowing reviews...

I can't speak for any other parent but my 7-month old son loves this book (and when he was 5 and 6 months too)! He gets very excited and holds it open and is able to turn the pages. He also loves that he is able to touch and feel the dog's "fur". His favorite is the ball on the cover and inside. It's a very simple book but he adores it so I am going to get all the Baby Touch and Feel books.

Great Everyday First Words Book

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.

Good first books for toddlers

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.
