Book Description

3 and upP and up

The coins are shiny. But they are also round, and there are five of them. One is over another, and one is under. The tree is rough. It is also brown and tall. And how about the stones? And the turtle? And the cotton candy? All the objects in this stunning book are textured -- they are rough, or smooth, or shiny, or sticky, or wet, or furry. But they are also lots and lots of other things. The more you look at the pictures, the more you will see. How much can you tell about each photograph? Once you start, it will be hard to stop!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hoban knocks another one out of the park!, September 20, 2010

This review is from: Is It Rough? Is It Smooth? Is It Shiny? (Hardcover)
Pretty much any book by Tana Hoban, just buy. It makes kids smart. No words=discussion=more brian cells used and created. Her photos are excellent; playful, clear, simple, and include kids. My only complaint is that I wouldn't really consider "shiny" to be a tactile description like rough or smooth, so it's not strictly a book all about touch, but that's really just more room for discussion with your budding scientists on how to classify and label objects using their five senses. A great addition to any child's library, Kindergarten classroom or science center.

3.0 out of 5 stars leaves a lot to interpretation, November 1, 2009

This review is from: Is It Rough? Is It Smooth? Is It Shiny? (Hardcover)
Interesting pictures but no captions or text. It can be challenging to figure out what concept the pages are trying to support.
