We own all of the Touch and Feel series, and my 15-month-old son loves them all. This one is his favorite because the textures are so different--the rough lizard, the sticky tree frog, and the furry lion. It keeps him busy at church, on plane flights, and at other times when his attention needs to be directed in a quiet manner. I would buy more of these books if there were more published!

All of the DK (publisher) books have gorgeous photographs, and this one is no exception. The photos are sharp and bright and the animals are highlighted against a white background, which makes them look like they are about to jump off the page. The textures in this book are really unique too. So many of the touch and feel books have all the same textures (fur, sandpaper, etc). This book has really unique and interesting textures (e.g. a cool, rubbery, soft, smooth surface for the dolphin - it really feels like the skin of sea mammals I have touched; and a bumpy shiny surface for the lizard skin). My 14 month old daughter really enjoys feeling all the different textures and "reading" this book to herself. Highly recommended.

Our daughter absolutely loves this book. It is better than any other book/toy/blanket I have ever seen on textures for infants/toddlers to touch. Our daughter particularly loves animals, so she loves the pictures as well. I plan to buy the farm one, too.

Well, as a mom of a now-16 month old, I have to say that the "Touch and Feel" guys have "Pat the bunny" beat hands down. My son loves the diverse textures of this one and at a time when he rarely sits still for an entire book, we go through this one several times before he moves on. I love the diverse animals and the large "touching" sections. My only complaint is that the sticky patches for the tree frog lost their stickiness in about a week. Just proves that it is well loved already!

This book has the greatest variety of different touch sensations that I have seen anywhere. My 2 year old son received this for Christmas last year and it has been his favorite. The sticky tree frog was the best page for him. It did lose the stickiness quickly, but I found an adhesive at a craft store that was specifically for tackiness. I just put it on the spots whenever they wear out and then we have weeks of fun again.

My Mother is 91 and has Alzheimers. She doesn't speak much anymore, but enjoys watching TV and looking at books. I got her this book for Christmas last year,and it is her favorite! She loves to touch the different animals and you can see how her facial expressions change as she feels the different textures. I place it her bed with her each night before I go home. She is comforted by this book, and gives her something to do that is not complex or confusing. I know the books are intended for young children, but I just wanted to bring up the fact that others can benefit from these books. I will be getting her some more for Christmas this year. God bless, and thank you for reading my story!

my 5 month old loves to touch all the animals,it's a fun little book and this is a great price!

I just love ALL the books in this series. My children just loved them when they were little, and if you've ever had babies you know how valuable a good book is -- you get to sit down for a while! They were fun for me to read and really fun for them to explore. In fact, I've already packed them away in their hope chests for when they grow up and have children.
Now, whenver I know anyone who has had a baby, these books (as many as I can find) are my gift.

My 4-month-old loves this book. She expecially loves the lion's long fur. She grabs it and will hold on for a long time. Needless to say, we spend most of our time on the lion page! But the other animals are neat too; a bumpy lizard, a smooth dolphin, a frog with sticky pads on its fingers, etc. This is a nice book to share with your child.

Someone the touch and feel farm to my daughter for a gift, and she LOVES it!! I've been reading it to her since she was 6 months of age, and she's known to touch/pet the animals even at that young age! She gets excited every time I pull it out- it is definitely her favorite! She laughs and giggles at the animal photos! I actually bought her several other DK touch & feel books now, including the kitten, baby animal, and wild animals ones!! They are all wonderful and I highly recommend them!!! The touch & feel wild animal book is very cute- it even has a "sticky" tree frog's toes!! SO CUTE!!
