Never Touch a Porcupine!

My 10 month old loves these books. These textured covers are some of his favorites. Story time or for independent play, my baby is obsessed. I find these books to be very well made and a very cute story too! A must for any little's collection.

Great book for little ones that love to explore textures. Have bought more like it.

My 9 month old won love the touch & feel collection! We’ve also been able to find a few in stores at Marshall’s & TjMaxx!

The media could not be loaded. My son loves the sensory pictures! The art is fun and colors captivates his attention. It’s a short story kind of book but I think we like it more for the pictures and textures. Will definitely be getting more books from its series!

This is a beautiful book

We love this book! It is cute and interactive. My 2 year old loves it. Would make a great birthday or Christmas gift as well. Good quality book.

There is a whole series of these “Never Touch A” books, and my toddler adores them! These books are suitable for babies 0+ but your small toddlers are going to go whacky over these. I don’t think I first introduced this book until my son was about 14 months old, now he’s almost 19 months and he brings me one of these books several times a day. We now have Never Touch a Porcupine, Monster, Grumpy Bat, Panda, Dinosaur, and Dragon, because I was tired of reading the same book all day long. Each page has a rubberized textured part of the animal for the child to feel and explore. My toddler loves flipping through the pages before I can even finish reading them. When I DO get to read the entire page, my only complaint is that the type font changes too much. It’s big bold colorful stylized fonts mixed with small narrow cursive every few words, which looks very cute and communicates emphasis, but it makes the book a bit difficult to read when holding it at different angles for the toddler to see, especially if you’re reading it upside down. By this point, I have most of the pages memorized anyway, but my other concern is that as my toddler gets older and is learning to read, he’ll unfortunately have difficulty learning to read along to his favorite Never Touch A books, because quite a lot of the words are in cursive, and it’s the same for every book in this series. I think the books could achieve the same visual effect with a block type font that would be easier for everyone to read. Other than that, I still will continue to buy these types of books. The board books are pretty durable and hold up to lots of abuse. Porcupine is the one we’ve had the longest and is in the worst shape by far. I’ve just reinforced the spine and some of the pages with packing tape and it is still perfectly usable. I bought another copy as a gift for a friend’s baby shower and she loved it.

Started reading to baby at 3 months and this was one of the first books. Baby loves the large illustrations and loves to use her feet to feel the different textures. There are several books in this series with this one being the favorite and the Dinosaur being a close runner up. Also purchased "Never Touch a Shark" and "Never Touch a Dinosaur".
