5.0 out of 5 stars An imaginative touch-and-feel simple story, July 15, 2006

This review is from: That's Not My Dragon... (Usborne Touchy-Feely Books) (Board book)

All the books in this series follow the same outline: a little white mouse looks for his puppy/truck/whatever. In this case, the little white mouse is looking for his dragon. The first dragon (on the cover) has ears that are too "tufty." Other dragons on each of the two-page spreads have purple spots that are too slimy (puffy and smooth), pearly claws that are too knobbly, a bright orange tail that's too prickly, and a long pink tongue that's too fuzzy. Finally the little mouse finds his dragon with wings that are "so scaly."

Unlike many other touch-and-feel books, the textures are interesting, different from page to page, and not too small for little fingers. Also, the texture isn't limited to just one spot on each two-page spread: for example, the knobbly-clawed dragon has all six of his adult-fingerprint sized claws made knobbly.

The book itself is sturdy, with very thick but easy-to-turn pages. The drawings are all brightly-coloured simple thick-lined cartoon drawings on solid backgrounds, though the pages are embellished with shimmery stars and swirls (and dragon scales) for a more magical feel than the other books in the series. All of the dragons look very friendly and cuddly (not scary at all), and the little white mouse hiding somewhere on every two-page spread is very sweet . . . and obviously happy when he finds his very own dragon.

Cute and imaginative. A five-star book for the very small.

All of these bright and durable books were the perfect eye candy for my baby as he was beginning to learn to use his hands and reach out to touch things. He is just about 2 now and still enjoys reading ALL of these books - so do we.
