This review is from: That's Not My Dinosaur (Usborne Touchy Feely) (Board book)

My kids-age 3 and 1, LOVE this book. It features a different dinosaur on every page, with the refrain, "That's not my dinosaur, his..."horns are too rough",then on the next page it will be "flippers are too slippery," etc., all with the appropriately textured body part. Then on the last page you finally find "my" dinosaur. What makes this better than the standard touch and feel books out there is 1) Durability. The binding is plastic and the pages are super strong cardboard--my other board books are disintegrating but not this one 2)Variety of textures--much better than my "Touch and Feel Baby Animals," or "Wild Animals." 3)Adjectives--while babies and young toddlers can chew on it and touch the textures, older toddlers love learning the adjectives that go along: rough, scratchy, shiny, slippery, soft, etc." 4)Theme: toddlers love having the wrong dinosaur, and finding the right one at the end. (Trust me)The reason I gave 4 not 5 stars is dinosaurs are not the most exciting thing--I'm on-line today buying a baby gift and I'm going to get "That's not my Puppy," or "Kitten" or "Lion."

This review is from: That's Not My Dinosaur (Usborne Touchy Feely) (Board book)

This was the first book I could read to my son. It is short, which is good for the limited attention span of the 3-4 month old, is so cute, and has interesting, bright simple pictures. He likes grabbing at the pages, too.

This review is from: That's Not My Dinosaur (Usborne Touchy Feely) (Board book)

This is my 15 month old son's second book in the 'That's not my...' series. He absolutely loves looking through these books by himself, or having my husband or I read them to him, while he flips the pages for us. This book doesn't seem to have as much for illustrations as the That's Not My Monster (Touchy-Feely Board Books) book. All the dinosaurs except for one are on solid colored pages with no decorative background. But, I still think it is a nice little book and he enjoys touching all the dinosaurs.

The following dinosaurs are in this book:

- a tail that is too fuzzy

- teeth that are too bumpy

- flippers that are too slippery

- horns that are too rough (my son's favorite)

- spines that are so soft

The touch material is a decent size, each material is different and not repeated on any other dinosaur either. Between the two books that he does have (this one and That's Not My Monster), I only saw one exact repeat of material (fuzzy), but it was a different color in each book.
