You never have to worry about losing this book at the beach... it floats! Kids can pop out the soft, nontoxic foam sea creatures to answer the rhymes about who they are and feel their bumpy textures. "Who crawls on the sea floor / And skitters up to shore?" Is it a slippery fish, a prickly crab, a puckery sea horse, or a ticklish starfish? Kids remove the brightly colored shapes, and then easily press them back in. It's a perfect match for the beach, bath, playground--anywhere at all. Check out Dinos!, Rough Road, 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 Fun and Versatile!, July 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Textured Soft Shapes: High Tide (Bath Book)

I was given this book as a gift and was immediately taken in by the foam textures and colors. Upon opening the book and discovering text hidden behind the pop out sea creatures, I was thrilled. It is a great first book since the child can feel all the different sea creatures. My 4 month old loved teething on the sea horse! She learned very quickly that she could pop out the creatures and that each felt differently. Furthermore, I could wash them when she finished chewing on them or let her play with them in the bath.

In addition to being a high quality activity book, the actual text is written in riddles using a high level of vocabulary that will challenge a child for many years with words such as 'puckery' and 'skitters'.

This is a book that can easily be baby's first, but it will also challenge her for years to come.

This review is from: Textured Soft Shapes: High Tide (Bath Book)

My 11-month old baby loves this book. Finally a book that she can play with, and read without destroying it. It has: a fish, a crab, a sea horse, and a starfish. It serves as a bath toy, and is a colorful puzzle. She picks up the pieces and tries to put them back on. It is surviving her teething quite well so far... I'm buying more of that series for her and for gifts!

5.0 out of 5 stars textured soft shapes - high tide, April 23, 2001

This review is from: Textured Soft Shapes: High Tide (Bath Book)

What fun!! My one year old loves these books! The pieces have survived teething and he loves to take the animals out and try to put them back in. They are fun in the bathtub, too! The spines do tend to come apart, but my son doesn't mind. We also own colors, shapes and farm animals! A great way to introduce your kids to books without worrying about the pages getting destroyed!
