4.0 out of 5 stars Great Idea and Superior Quality, February 11, 2004

By	S. Bookworm - See all my reviews

My kids-age 3 and 1, LOVE this book. It features a different dinosaur on every page, with the refrain, "That's not my dinosaur, his..."horns are too rough",then on the next page it will be "flippers are too slippery," etc., all with the appropriately textured body part. Then on the last page you finally find "my" dinosaur. What makes this better than the standard touch and feel books out there is 1) Durability. The binding is plastic and the pages are super strong cardboard--my other board books are disintegrating but not this one 2)Variety of textures--much better than my "Touch and Feel Baby Animals," or "Wild Animals." 3)Adjectives--while babies and young toddlers can chew on it and touch the textures, older toddlers love learning the adjectives that go along: rough, scratchy, shiny, slippery, soft, etc." 4)Theme: toddlers love having the wrong dinosaur, and finding the right one at the end. (Trust me)The reason I gave 4 not 5 stars is dinosaurs are not the most exciting thing--I'm on-line today buying a baby gift and I'm going to get "That's not my Puppy," or "Kitten" or "Lion."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for little babies, September 19, 2004

This was the first book I could read to my son. It is short, which is good for the limited attention span of the 3-4 month old, is so cute, and has interesting, bright simple pictures. He likes grabbing at the pages, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Son's favorite book, September 17, 2009

This review is from: That's Not My Dinosaur (Touchy-Feely Board Books) (Board book)

My 15 month old loves this book, I've memorized every page since he wants us to read it to him every night it seems. He loves the pictures and likes the textures on every page.
