I can tell you something about the Usborne Touchy-Feely books – it’s not just the little ones who love these! The Narwhal version I included in my recent Book Bonanza to celebrate Book Week was the most highly sought after ‘lucky dip’ out of all 50 books on offer – and the year 8 girl who won it was absolutely ecstatic!!

The patches of texture included in each illustration whether shiny, fuzzy, smooth or fluffy will delight the littlest readers as they touch each special spot encouraging their sensory awareness as well as vocabulary.

This is such a cute little series for babies and toddlers – and of course, wombats are particularly endearing so this is bound to be a real hit with the teeny ones. I’ll be popping this one into a parcel for a friend expecting her first baby and I’m sure it will be very well received. Why not include it in your next baby shower parcel?

Hurray for the 20th anniversary of one of the most delightful concept books for little ones ever!

Teeny people will love stroking the touchy-feely aspect of each page with the shiny claws, fuzzy tummy or soft paws.

Everyone who loves to read to babies and toddlers will want this in their basket of books and it’s guaranteed to be read and re-read many times. Luckily these sturdy board books have a very long life/chew/dribble span!

If you don’t have the original copy you will definitely want to acquire this one be it for kids or grandkids – or simply a beautiful little gift for a new little human in your circle.

Highly recommended for babies upwards! If only this blog had tactile additions!
