Touch and Feel Halloween (Board book)

by DK Publishing (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Touch the pumpkin's waxy orange skin. Stroke the velvet coat of a pint-sized wizard. Halloween is a time of sensory delights, and this chunky little board book celebrates some spine-chilling tactile sensations, like a scruffy pirate's beard and the silky black fur of a witch's cat. Young readers brought up on Pat the Bunny will love feeling the various textures of Halloween, and may be inspired with new ideas for this year's costume. DK's trademark crisp photos against a white background are always a pleasure to see, especially with the accompanying large, simple text. Colorful pictures of children in costume, treasure chests, jack-o'-lanterns, and, of course, candy, will put readers in the right mood for the spookiest night of the year. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

Product Description
This engaging novelty book will charm and delight young readers. Featuring a selection of thrilling Halloween-themed textures, each title offers a new tactile sensation. Contrast the "silky" black cat with the "scaly" snake or compare the "bristly" pirate's beard to the scarecrow's "hairy" jacket. Large, simple text and colorful photographs of objects ranging from familiar to scary and exotic provide a fun learning experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best touch and feel book, September 11, 2002

By	Louise Tate "bwmama" (Virginia) - See all my reviews

My 16 mo. old daughter has at least 10 of these books, and this one is her favorite. The texture parts are large, unlike the nfl book, and she loves the kitty page! There are also pages of a wizard, a scarecrow, a pumpkin, and a pirate.

5.0 out of 5 stars A HALLOWEEN TOUCH AND FEEL, February 7, 2005

By	Tim Janson (Michigan) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

We have several of the touch and feel books in our home and our two year old has always enjoyed them. Kids love touching different things and the touch and feel books give them several different textures to work on. My two year old just loves Halloween. He'll ask to read Halloween books all year round.

As with the other touch and feel books, this one has vivid and color photography to accompany the various textures your child gets to touch including a pumpkin, Pirates Beard, the fur of a black cat, and a wizards robe. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our PUMPKIN loves this book!, October 12, 2000

A Kid's Review

Our 10 month-old daughter just LOVES this book. She reads it every night & especially enjoys touching the pirate's ROUGH beard...(it probably reminds her of her daddy!) She has several others from this series and really takes notice of the crisp, clear, true-to-life pictures. It's a sure thing! We already got the Christmas one for her! Buy it. Today.
