I purchased this and two other "That's Not My..." board books in Australia recently for my 1 year old. These books were well worth the price as they quickly became his favorite night time reading. He can easily turn the pages and touch and feel the lion's ears, tail or teeth. He especially enjoys scratching the lions paws. The "That's not my lion ..." line is just the level of repetition that he requires. I would definitely recommend these books and plan to purchase the rest of the series.

This book has been a hit from the start with my 6 months old baby -maybe a little too much: at the very first reading, she got so excited at the last page that she managed to pull the mane of the lion right off the book! So parents, if your baby has good "grabbing" skills, beware! Generally though, this board book is sturdy, colorful, great to learn about textures, and has thick pages that are easy to turn with baby hands. We go back to this book often. My now 9 months old is still too young to pay attention to the little mouse on each page, but I expect it will be a nice addition later to have her find it.

I gave it only 4 stars due to the page that was destroyed so easily, and also there is one page that I don't like that much ("shiny teeth" -unappealing drawing, and shiny is not easy considering the book is glossy). I also bought "That's not my monkey" and I like it more (so does my baby).
Overall, I highly recommend books in this series.

My daughter has loved this book (and several others in the series) since she was about 6 months old. She's getting less interested now at 13-months, but it's still a favorite.

We got my daughter one of these books (the Lion one), and she loved it so much that I went back to the book store and got the two others in the series they had (doll and dinosaur). Months later these are still her favorite books (she is now 10 months old). I am buying the rest of the set now. These books will be what I get for baby gifts from now on.

My son LOVES this line of books; but this one fell short for him!
"That's Not My Monster" is his absolute favorite, and he likes "That's Not My Dragon" the 2nd. I bought That's Not My Pony, That's Not My Monkey and That's Not My Lion recently. He enjoys the monkey one, but the other 2 he doesn't care much for. I couldn't say why, I think textures are really the same book to book, so it must be the pictures. I highly recommend these books though.

This is a great board book and touchy feely book for age 8 to 9 months and up. I would even buy it for as young as 3 months old. It's sturdy, durable, colorful, beautifully illustrated. This book has won the Parent's Guide Award. They learn about the different textures and love looking at the pictures. A plus to this book is that there is a mouse hidden in the pages that they can look for. It gives them great satisfaction when they see it. It's a great reading readiness book and talk about book. We love it.

I love these series of touch and feel books for babies/toddlers. I have purchased many of them for lots of kids under the age of 18 months and they all love them. Great travel book too!

My son got this when he was about 12 months old and it was instantly his favorite. There's a great extra 'game' you can play with these books. On each page is a little white mouse. I ask "Where's the mouse?" and he points to it. We have also bought a couple of others in this series and they are equally as fun.

wonderful books!!!!!!!!!!!! get them all!!! our daughter has loved them since she turned one, and still loves them after turning 2! very fun to read, colours are vibrant, textures are appropriate, such nice books!! first discovered this series on www.mybabycantalk.com 's dvd's "First signs" and "Sharing signs" (by the way the BEST dvd's for babies and toddlers to learn sign language (asl) and english words. they are a must alongwith the books listed here.

I've bought 3 books from this series for my nephew and he just loves them! I read "That's Not My Puppy" to him when he was 2 months old and he just loved it. At first he responded to the colors, now, 9 months later he turns the pages and loves to touch the feely patches. We're guaranteed a big smile from him whenever we say, "that's not my puppy!"

The construction of the books are definitely first rate as well. His books still look brand new. I highly recommend the Touchy-Feely Board Books.
