Amazon.com Review

Sandra Boynton knows her farm animals. This simple board book, "a touch, skritch, & tickle book," will delight babies and toddlers (and probably moms and dads too) with its multi-sensory presentation of whimsical barnyard creatures. Each bright, colorful illustration features a tactile component and some fun words to accompany it. The cow's nose is made of a soft pink material and the text on the opposite page declares, quite correctly, "Fuzzy fuzzy fuzzy." A dog with a rough paw, a pig with a smooth nose, a turkey with a "little bit bumpy" wattle, and a soft-bellied duck round out the ensemble. The final page features two chicks inside lift-the-flap eggs who disagree about whether to start over at the beginning of the book. "Touch and feel" children's books are no new innovation but too often the different textures end up feeling more or less the same. But Fuzzy Fuzzy Fuzzy! features quality construction and is large enough for very young children to hold and manipulate. (Baby to preschool) --John Moe

This review is from: Fuzzy Fuzzy Fuzzy!: a touch, skritch, & tickle book (Boynton Board Books) (Board book)

I purchased this book for my 8-month old niece, as I thought it would be a perfect start to her Boyton library. The book is oversized, with large, colorful drawings and only a few words per page, as the main point is to feel the different textures on each animal pictured. It turned out that my 2 1/2 year old niece was interested in this book as well--she loved feeling the pages herself as well as making others close their eyes and guess at the textures. Another beautiful Boyton book appropriate for babies and toddlers alike.

My 14 month old daughter just couldn't get past chewing books and tossing them around the room. This is the first book that has really caught her attention. She absolutely LOVES it. We read it again and again and she loves the different textures on each page. We have now bought almost all of Sandra Boynton's books but this one remains a favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars My son LOVED it, January 10, 2004

This review is from: Fuzzy Fuzzy Fuzzy!: a touch, skritch, & tickle book (Boynton Board Books) (Board book)

We started reading this to my son when he was just a month old or so, and he loved it - it was the first book that he reached out to "touch" the page. It was perfect for a very young child's attention span. As he has gotten older (he's now 10 months), he would sit and go through the pages himself, tapping each page in the appropriate place, until he ripped the egg at the end (okay - he chewed part of it too). I forgot about it until my father picked it up and showed it to my son and he got so excited!
