5.0 out of 5 stars Rhythmic text, fun pictures and lots of touchy-feelies!, March 3, 2005

By	Scrapbookin' Mama (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

My son is 16 months old and he LOVES this book! He chose it in the store several months ago (actually, he grabbed the book and began to eat the horse's hair...needless to say, we didn't have much choice about buying it!) and it has been his favorite book ever since. He pulls this book from his basket almost daily and loves to touch the "feelies." The rhythmic bounce of the text and repetition of the animal names aid in animal recognition and help develop verbal and auditory skills. The text also includes a plethera of wondefully descriptive phrases for vocabulary enrichment. Kids are never too young to be exposed to content-rich language! My son has learned several animal sounds because of this book!!! When he is not in the mood to listen to the text (which is a touch lengthy for a one year old), we sing Old MacDonald's Farm and use each page as the basis for the song. I am an Early Childhood educator and I highly believe in the Baby Einstein products!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not as good as others, February 4, 2006

By	liznmolls (Pleasanton, CA) - See all my reviews

We bought this one because our 9-month-old just loves her Baby Einstein Old MacDonald DVD and the other Baby Einstein giant touch-and-feel book, "Violet's House." While "Violet's House" has relevant and many touch and feelies on each page, this one only has one per page and the feelies aren't anywhere near the actual feel of the animal. (i.e. the pig feely is plastic bristles.) The chicken feely is feathers, although relevant to the animal, they do come off easily.

We were so impressed by "Violet's House" and the DVD that we expected a little more quality. It is also very wordy for each page instead of more simple reading, which should be targeted for this age group.

5.0 out of 5 stars My baby loves this book!, September 16, 2004

By	StyleSF (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I strongly believe in "Touch and Feel" books to let babies explore different textures. This book is great for that - all the animals have very realistic fur, skin, etc. and my daughter will literally reach for this book if she sees it (she's only 5 months old). The text is cute - they use alliteration and it is poetic. I strongly recommend!
Baby Einstein - please create more Touch and Feel Books!
