That's Not My Teddy (Usborne Touchy-Feely Board Books)

10 reviews

Fuzzy, Fluffy, Squashy Fun
Our twin babies are enjoying these "That's Not My..." books. These are more engaging than some of the other touchy-feely books we've got. Some books put materials in the pages for the babies to touch, just for the sake of having them there - and the words don't seem to "match up" with the thing we're feeling, or they are so stretched for material that it barely makes sense what we're feeling. ...

Awesome moving pictures!
I'm a kindergarten teacher and so I've read thousands of children's books to my students. This book and the similar book "Gallop" by the same author, are some of our favorites and are loved by both children and adults. I've also given both books as gifts that received rave reviews!

We love this whole series
The illustrations are simple and engaging, the textures are varied (both within a book and from book to book), and the wide-ranging adjectives in an otherwise repetitive text make these books good vocabulary builders. Can't recommend this enough for babies, toddlers, and even preschoolers.

fun and easy, but with one problem
We bought this for our 6-year-old daughter, and she enjoys using it. It is simple enough that she can do it herself. However, within the first hour, the bulb burned out. We replaced it with the spare bulb that came in the box, and that one burned out less than a month later (and we do not use the microscope very much at all, she maybe turns it on a couple of times a week and never for very ...

Definate buy.
I was a little hesitant to purchase this product after reading some of the other reviews; however I was delighted with the product after it arrived. The samples are good, great variety, and no issues with them being 'dusty'. I would definately recommend these slides to others for the purposes of fun and education.

Great books!
These books are such a hit with my son who is now 3 and still loves them. In fact I have just recently bought more of them. We started with That's Not My Car.. and it seems have started an addiction. They are great fun and we take turns picking out which car (monster, puppy, train..etc) we like best. We also look for the mouse on each page. I think these are some of the best toddler books ...

DK Preschool, 2002

Very fun interactive book
My daughter loves this book. It has different textures on each page: bumpy skin, smooth horns, stegosaurous scales, and sticky tongues! The pictures are very bright and vivid. It's so much fun for her to play with. Everytime I pull out her books it's the first one she runs too. I don't think there are enough dino books out there, so I was excited to find this book. The book is sturdy so ...

That's not my kitten
This is an excellent book for babies. It has great sturdy pages and super cute touchy feelys. This revised version has been much improved. The nose is bigger and spongier and their are added decorative flowers and butterflies. Pretty colors! My daughter, who is 17 mos., really enjoys flipping through this book and other ones in the series!

Well done!
That's Not My Puppy: Its Coat Is Too Hairy is short and sweet on length, but wonderfully entertaining with textures. This is a great, sturdy board book that very little readers will enjoy multiple times. And, when you've explored all you want about the dogs, you can always discuss that cute little mouse who seems to appear on every single page! Cute, educational, and very, very ...

An excellent and very different children's book ...
The good points of this book are simple: 1.This is a very original approach for a children's book. Instead of cartoon characters, pop-up pages or buttons for sounds, the book operates by just opening the cover, literally. 2.The text is large enough and simple enough to start toddlers reading early. 3.The pictures are cute and captivating. My son loves this book and interacts with it ...

Kids Love Them
The Usborne books are beautiful, I have a 3 year old and 14 month twins, they all love the cute drawings and the textures, the short texts are good for their attention span, but if you want you can linger in the page and comment on details. I would definiteley recommend these books to anyone with kids!

Fun for the very little kids.
My son (2.2) loves this book. He's really into cars and enjoys the interactive part. However, I think this book is definitely too young for him. I would get it for a 6-12 month old. Still fun, though.

A Great Sleepy Time Book
We love The Very Quiet Cricket, one of Eric Carle's best. It is the story of a very young cricket who wants to talk to the world around him, but he hasn't yet learned how. He rubs and rubs his wings together, but "nothing happens. Not a sound." Until the surprise on the very last page. This is a great end of the day, getting ready for bed book. I read it to my young one in a very soft ...

I love these books!
I love the "That's not my..." series from Fiona Watt. They are sturdy books and the touchy-feely parts are very durable. This one is one of the newer types and my son just started to like pirates so it was perfect!
