Rough Road - Textured Soft Shapes [Foam Book]

IKids (Author), Kate Davis (Author), Bob Filipowich (Author)

Book Description

Grade Level: P and up | Series: Textured Soft Shapes

After the phenomenal success of our Soft Shapes books, we had to ask ourselves, what do we do for an encore? The answer? Textured Soft Shapes! This new series takes the original best-selling Soft Shapes to a more tactile level, but still has pop-out play pieces that float. Each spread has bumps, ridges, and all kinds of fun textures for kids to touch and feel.

Drive down ridgy, rocky, bumpy, and rough roads with a pick-up truck, cement truck, bulldozer, and dump truck. Construction-site black foam pages with yellow pop-out vehicles guarantees this book will drive off the shelves!

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Bright yellow trucks ride over a variety of rough roads in this textured soft-foam book. Very young readers pop out the nontoxic pieces to find out what kind of terrain each truck will encounter: "The bulldozer rides on a... ridgy road." Rough, ridgy, rocky, rippled--who can resist touching these bumpy textures? The trucks float--in fact, so does the entire book!--so they're perfect for bathtime, not to mention bed, travel, or any old time! Also check out High Tide, Dinos!, Whose Back Is Bumpy?, or any of the other textured titles in this terrific follow-up series to Soft Shapes. (Ages 1 to 4) --Emilie Coulter

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastically Fun!, May 29, 2001

This review is from: Rough Road - Textured Soft Shapes (Foam Book)

My 13-month-old son loves cars and trucks, and he also loves to feel different textures, so I thought this would be fun for him. It's turned out to be fun for both of us! Not only is it a book, it's also a set of trucks, a chewing toy, a bath toy. We recently had a party, and a nine-year-old boy wished that he had a book like this when he was smaller. I suspect he wouldn't even mind having a book like this now.

I bought this for my one year old son, but my four year old daughter is just as intrigued. Each page is thick and has it's own pop out foam truck, and each page is a different texture.

This product is great for small children who are beginning to touch and feel. It's a great sensory tool as well.
