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.

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!

This book is perfect for young babies. It has large colorful illustrations. There is only one animal on a page which makes it enjoyable for babies to look at. It also has great textures. It is perfect for talking about different animals. The only downfall is there is not a lot of words but babies don't really need a lot of words. My daughter is (x)months and she loves to feel all the different textures.

I was a little disappointed with this book. We really like Sanda Boynton books but this one was a little too expensive for what you get. It's very short, the last page has two flaps which are hard for even me to open (let alone little kids) and I can tell they will be torn off within the next month or so. It's a cute book but I think too expensive given the length and the fact that it really isn't a story. I thought my one-year old would like it since he likes books where he can touch things but ... this isn't really a hit.

We checked this book out from the library for my 2 year old. He loved it so much that he memorized it and loved reading it to anyone who will listen. He is so funny reading it with so much feeling! We are expecting a baby in October and are buying it for the new baby from big brother. Then he can read it to the baby after it is born. It is a very basic book and not like Sandra Boynton's other fun wordy books, but I LOVE the animals and love that is is so basic for little ones. LOVE IT!

I've been reading it to them for several months and they really enjoy it. When they were younger, they loved the colorful, large, simple pictures, and now, they can touch the "feely" stuff. They also really seem to love the rythmn of the words, and since I learned it by heart pretty quickly (not so hard since there are like 10 words in the whole book!), I often recite it during meal times and it always makes them smile.

The only thing that is a little annoying is the last page where you have to flip little cardboard covers to decide if you want to "Start over again with the Fuzzy Fuzzy guy." It kind of breaks the rythmn of the book, and I can easily see them getting ripped off when the boys are not too much older.

I just bought another copy to give to my sister and her infant.

Enjoy!

I have a number of touch-and-feel type books for my boys, but this one is their favorite- even more than "Pat the Bunny"! It is brief enough for my little ones, with large patches for touching, and bright, simple pictures. We have not opened the flap eggs on the last page because my guys tend to tear up flaps, and the book still works fine for them!

I bought this book for my son when he was a baby, and now at 21 months, I wouldn't say it's one of his favourites.
He did show some interest at first - the lift-the-flap yes/no eggs were a huge hit (and are looking rather worse-for-wear for it!) but not many of the touchy-feely animals impressed him.
I, on the other hand, love this book. The pictures are fabulous, the textures are great and varied, and the duck's tummy really is incredibly soft!

As a big fan of the Sandra Boynton books, I eagerly awaited the release of Fuzzy Fuzzy Fuzzy. I was thoroughly disappointed with the book - my daughter barely looked at it, and she can't put her other Boynton books down. It's a good concept to have the kids be able to feel different textures, but there has to be some sort of plot line, or at least a sentence. The classic 'Pat the Bunny' does a good job of introducing textures and activities to kids. Wish I had a better review to write, but I just can't think of anything nice to say about it. I guess I would give it 0 stars, but that's not an option.
