The touch and feel books by DK are terrific. The photographs are large and wonderful and the items to feel are an excellent tool for your youngster. These books are fine for very young babies as well as toddlers. Your child will learn the name of each animal as well as the sound the animal makes. The first coherent sound my son made was "Moo". These books are perfectly sized for you and your baby to read. Moreover, your child can even read to him/herself as the board book pages are thick enough for a young child to turn. I recommend all of the DK books. As your child grows, the series grows also. These books also make a wonderful birthday or holiday gift. Highly recommended.
Much better than any other touch and feel book I've found

We have 4 books in this great series, and I am really impressed with their quality. They don't have tiny patches of semi-touchable fabric, they have BIG areas of very soft (or rough, or leathery, or whatever) feelable material. The chick in this one is all covered with a really chick-like soft yellow fuzz, the sheep is covered with real feeling woolly material, and so on. Fun for babies and ages on up to adult!
Great first book for babies

All of the touch and feel books make great books for babies, even as young as 3 or 4 months. The pictures are attractive to infants. My son loves the different textures.
Wonderful hands-on book!

My daughter has loved this book since she received it for her one-year birthday. We can't read it to her enough. She loves to pet the animals over and over again! I'm glad to learn there are more in this series!
Definitely caught and held the attention of our 4 month old!

Big, bright interesting photos of chicks & chickens, colts & horses, puppies & dogs, etc. with nicely attached textures representative of the animal's coat for baby to feel. Our daughter looks at the pictures longer than most books, opens her hand that has been placed on the wool, etc., to get a better touch with her fingertips. Very effective and baby friendly fun tool for 3-way visual, tactile, verbal association-building.
