"Soft Shapes" books by innovative kids are wonderful! They're soft & easy to take along almost anywhere. They're colorful. They have large puzzle pieces - great for little hands. My 2 year old daughter loves these books & they're terrific for entertainment & learning! We work on reading/phonics/words, recognizing the shapes of the cutouts, colors of pages & cutouts, placing the puzzle pieces in the book correctly, counting items, animal sounds for the "Animals" book, textures & alliteration for the "Whose Back is Bumpy" book (love the frog page!), opposites for the "Big And Little" & "In And Out", plus other things. All the shapes from each book or all of the books combined can be used for play, such as creating a town, or a farm, etc. Each book is made of foam, so it's easy to wash & great for the tub or sticking to mirrors, windows, sliding glass doors, etc. There are so many possibilities with Soft Shapes Books! We can't wait to get all 4 mini's or the 2 new texture shapes - Dinos! & High Tide!

My daughter like this one, but not as much as high tide. I think it has to do with the colors. High tide is much more colorful where this one is kind of drab.

I picked up some of these books as interactive options from the baby stage to the toddler books.
This one has great textures and is a fabulous start to putting together puzzles too. I do suggest that you watch the kids while they are playing with the books. The foam material is sooo tempting to chew on that they may chew off parts like ears and tails. The shapes can take some bites, but repeated chewings will destroy them.
Our set survived one child and is ready to take on the next.

My 10 month old son can not get enough of the textures and shapes. What a great anywhere book - even in the bath! We seldom leave home without it.

Both my children love this book. At first, they just loved to pull out the puzzle pieces and feel the different textures. Then, they learned to put the puzzle pieces back in the book. Both kids love to carry this book around wherever we go -- they just love the way it feels and the bright colors. This book is always one of the most requested for reading... a toy and a book all wrapped up in one!

I was really disappointed by this book, especially given the price. When I opened it up and sat down with my boys, the book literally fell apart the first time we looked at it. The foam pages came completely loose from the binding simply from opening the book all the way to look at the pictures. There are only 4-5 pages, too, and one of the, is the same as the cover. All in all, a huge waste of money.
