Imagine touching Santa's snowy white beard, or a reindeer's leathery, squishy nose! Christmas is a time of sensory pleasures, and this Touch and Feel Christmas novelty book captures some of the best tactile experiences for very young children. The chunky, square board book features Santa's fluffy beard, first viewed through a die-cut hole in the front cover, shiny Christmas tree ornaments, a caroler's fleecy hat, and the velvety soft belly of a plush lion. Dorling Kindersley's trademark crisp, colorful photos accompany simple text, encouraging young readers to explore the textures of Christmas. Here is a perfect Christmas gift to surprise your young one with--perhaps a few weeks before the holiday! (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

5.0 out of 5 stars A cute Christmas book your child is sure to love., December 10, 2002

My daughter received this book for her first Christmas and now three years later she still loves it. The pictures are bright and cheery. You can touch Santa's fluffy beard, press the reindeer's squishy nose, and feel the fuzzy fleece of the caroler's hat. When my daughter was a baby I used to hold her on my lap and help her stroke the different textures. Now that she is older she likes to take down several of the books in thuis series at a time and look through them herself. The text is simple and the pictures are delightful. Best of all this is a well made sturdy book that will last for years to come. I recommend it to everyone.

This review is from: Touch and Feel Christmas (Board book)

This is the third DK Touch and Feel book I have bought for our toddler. My son (at 20 months) is already bored with the book after only one day. When you buy one Touch and Feel book you have bought them all as there is redundancy in the textures. (I love all other DK books other than the Touch and Feel series.) By toddler ages, children want to touch and feel the real thing anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER GREAT TOUCH AND FEEL BOOK, February 7, 2005

This review is from: Touch and Feel Christmas (Board book)

We have several of the touch and feel books in our home and our toddler has always enjoyed them. Kids love touching different things and the touch and feel books give them several different textures to work on. This is a great Christmas themed book where kids can touch Santa's soft, fluffy bear, push the soft, squishy nose of a reindeer, touch the shiny red christmas ornament, and so on...One can, I suppose question the educational value of these books but why must all books be educational? Bottom line is that all of these books are fun for kids to read and touch.
