Touch and Feel Pets

by D.K. Publishing

This is one of the Touch and Feel books I hadn't seen it before; we found it at the library today. It has a variety of familiar pets featured in bright, clear photographs on the few pages. Each with a texture for small hands to feel: fuzzy dog (spaniel of some kind, so it was kinda curly), shimmery fish scales, soft rabbit fur (body and tail), smooth bird feathers. The baby was absolutely intrigued by the page of kitty whiskers. She could not get enough of tugging on those wiry whiskers. I like the fish page. So pretty. Nice little book, good to engage a restless child (I used it already when a distraction was needed!)
