This is a great book. Each page has a different teddy bear that a child can touch, for example, the nose is soft or the ears are fuzzy. It is a simple book; each page has a reason why the teddy you are looking at is not the right bear. Finally the last teddy bear is the right teddy bear. My 2-year-old LOVES this book she has memorized it and reads it with me while she touches the pages. When we get to the last teddy she is so delighted to have found the right teddy. I highly recommend this fun book.

As the mother of an infant I bought this for my son along with numerous other books. This book maintains his attention and he enjoys browsing through it again and again. The colorful pages and fabrics make the book captivating for him! I own at least 100 books for him, but this is one of his favorites! It is great for visual imput, tactile/sensory imput, and early literacy skills.

I purchased this book a few months ago and it has become one of our absolute favorites! My son (now 6 months) will try to flip pages and he knows there is a "touchy" on every page! This is, overall, just a GOOD quality book!

Our twin babies are enjoying these "That's Not My..." books. These are more engaging than some of the other touchy-feely books we've got. Some books put materials in the pages for the babies to touch, just for the sake of having them there - and the words don't seem to "match up" with the thing we're feeling, or they are so stretched for material that it barely makes sense what we're feeling. Many of the "touchy-feely" books simply lack story content. That's not true of these Usborne touchy-feelies. The text is simple and makes sense to toddlers, and gives them a wider vocabulary of adjectives -- especially "tactile" words, like "fuzzy," "fluffy," "shiny," "hairy," and even (in "That's Not My Teddy"), "squashy!"

For bigger babies (my babies are just one year old), it's neat to notice a cute little mouse who shows up on every page. That's one thing I love about Usborne baby books - even when the babies are tired of looking at the main story, there's always the cute little mouse to notice and talk about!

This is another one of Usborne Book's Touchy-Feely books - board books with little texture pieces that young one's can touch. In this book, a cute little mouse is looking for his teddy bear, but is having trouble finding it.

It's a very cute book, one that was just right for you kindergartener who is learning how to read. She liked the story and the pieces that she could actually touch. We both give it a big thumb's up!

My 10 month old twins adore this book. I've had to read it multiple times a day for the past 5 months, and they enjoy looking through the pages on their own as well. The textures are great- my daughter will press her nose against all the different fabrics or try to lick them! She is also going through a stage where she chews on books, and this one is able to withstand her teeth and is still intact. I can't recommend it enough!

This is a great board book. It's a great read and talk about book. They learn textures and how things feel. It's beautifully illustrated, colorful and you don't have to worry about them ripping the pages. They will want to carry around with them all the time. Very cute. Great for special needs children also.

My daughter got this book at 7 months old, and she has loved it from the beginning. She loves to feel all the different textures, and now that she is 11 months old she loves to "read" it on her own. The book is durable and colorful, and I recommend it.

Our son is now 5 months old and this is his favorite book. He loves trying to grab the mouse on every page and knows where to feel on all the teddies. He likes books in general, but you can really see him tune in when we pull this one out - he loves it! We can't wait to try out the others in this series!

Also, as the other reviewers mentioned, a very sturdy book compared to other touchy-feelies. It has thick pages and a wide variety of durable textures.

There are ALL KINDS of touch and feel books out there now, many more than there were 7 years ago during my prior go-round as a mother of a baby! I find the quality varies a lot. So far, this is the winner for me! The pages are very thick, so the touchable parts of them can be thick also, and really be something you can touch. When the teddy shown has a soft nose, it's truly soft fabric, and feels like it will stay that way. The shiny eyes on another are big enough to really be noticed. The pages are simple and uncluttered, and the story is basic enough to be understood by a young listener. I plan on buying more from this series!
