Touch and Feel Baby Animals

Touch and Feel Baby Animals published by DK Publishing, Inc is one of my son's favorite books to read. My husband likes to sit with my son and read this great learning tool book. My son is really into learning about the different animals right now, he is almost two and a half years old. What I like about this book most is that it is interactive with my son.

Description

This book is 12 cardboard pages long including both the front cover and the book cover. The cover of the book had the title written in different colors. In the title the words BABY ANIMALS are all capitalized and each letter is written in different colors, such as yellow, red, blue, pink, and green. Each part of this book has a learning opportunity. The front cover shows a picture of a rabbit with a small hole cute out where your child can feel the fur of the rabbit. The rabbit is grey and is eating lettuce. In the background behind the rabbit are two yellow ducks but you can't feel their feathers. On the top of this picture shows two more animals eating hay. You can't feel those either.

You open the book and first see the same rabbit that was on the front cover. Here again you can feel they grey soft fur the rabbit has. You can also see three more rabbits, one white and two grey. They are sitting on some straw or hay but you can't feel those. This book invites you too see and stroke the soft baby rabbit.

The next page shows three brown elephants. You can actually feel two out of the three elephants. Their skin is brown and feels like leather. You can feel the skin of the baby elephant's ears. They tell you the texture is rough.

You turn the page to find four yellow ducklings. Now they give you the opportunity to feel two out of the three ducklings. They are fluffy and soft. It looks like two of them are talking to each other. You can pretend with your child and come up with something they might be saying.

Next we have three calves. One is brown, one is a darker brown, and one is spotted brown and white. We can only feel the lighter brown calf. His is smooth and velvety to touch. The two calves that you can't touch are eating hay. The other one is looking straight at the reader.
