Touch! My Big Touch-and-Feel Word Book (Touch-and-Feel Books, 1) Hardcover – Touch & Feel, April 4, 2017

There are all kinds of board books, but once again, none quite as fun as the ones Xavier Deneux creates. Yes, these are simply works of art for the preschooler to explore. They’re a wonderful way to introduce the world around us via the sense of touch, a wonderful way to introduce them to the written word. Similar to the TouchThinkLearn books, this is an oversized picture book that can be worked with on a table. No doubt, when you least expect in, the pages of this book will be turning. Homeschoolers will definitely jump at the chance for the opportunity to introduce this tactile marvel of a book to their little ones.Each one or two-page spread introduces an activity or a group of things that are familiar to preschoolers. These pages include Meal Time, Bedtime, Playtime, Bath Time, Clothes, At the Market, At the Table, On the Road, Animals with Short Hair, Furry Animals, Animals with Smooth Skin, Animals with Rough Skin, Animals with Scales and Shells, and Birds. Combined with a wide variety of tactile experiences, this book is an excellent learning tool. The tactile “experiences” are quite varied and present a wide variety of unique Touch-And-Feel Elements.This is a fun, fascinating book that is the perfect complement to the TouchThinkLearn series of books. Whenever someone wants a recommendation for young children, this is the direction I point them in. These books will definitely awaken any preschooler’s sensory system with the Touch-And-Feel Elements, the vibrant colors, familiar items, new words, and little surprises like that sticky piece of toast! The intended age group for this Touch-And-Feel book is 2 – 4, but for the younger set, I’d certainly recommend some supervision.TOUCH THINK LEARN:TouchThinkLearn: FarmTouchThinkLearn: VehiclesTouchThinkLearn: Baby AnimalsTouchThinkLearn: HomesTouchThinkLearn: ColorsTouchThinkLearn: OppositesTouchThinkLearn: ShapesTouchThinkLearn: NumbersTouchThinkLearn: ABCThis book courtesy of the publisher.

My toddler LOVED this book. It is by far her favorite book. She can sit for 30 mins looking at it. 10/10. I just purchased another big book from this author!!

This the the most fantastic touch anf feel bookwe own. I am surprised to so many negative reviews specifically around to the sticky tost. I get how the pages can get stuck and could be destroyed. This didn't happen in our case because on the first read my kiddo touched it like hundred times taking the stickiness down a notch. I love this sticky part as it explores texture without the mess (otherwise I would have to let my kiddo play with honey. Lol). Other textures are also fantastic, and book has so many "items" to name my kid wants to to read it over and over and over again. All off the critical reviews (taking the rating down to 1 star for the sticky tost) seem so harsh and unfair for this publisher. Great book, in fact this will become my go to toddler gift among family and friends with little ones.

Little one loves this book. It’s on the larger size compared to her other board books, so it’s her go to. Many touch and feel varieties. They did a wonderful job. My only complaint is the stickiness of the “toast”. If you’re not careful to keep it covered with the little sheet provided, other stuff will stick to it (ie. a paper towel... which left it’s fuzz). So no more sticky toast.

I painted two coats of clear topcoat on the sticky toast and let it sit over night. It is no longer sticky and it’s nice and shiny!

My 14 month old grandson loves this book! He carries it to our lap and turns the pages & has us “touch touch” everything! It has 30 things to feel!!

My son loves loves loves this book. This is hands down the best touch and feel book I’ve ever come across. My favorite is the sticky toast! My son loves to press against the toast and say “sticky”. There’s so many different textures within this book and he’s learned so many words using this book.I’ve bought another copy for a friend and she was delighted over it! The whole party passed it around taking turns feeling the pages.

My 17 month old LOVES this book. The illustrations are beautiful and eye catching and the sensory items are very diverse. This is a step up from many of our touch and feel books and there is so much great information for little ones on each page. The book covers bedtime, daily routine, clothing, toys, and lots of animals and food choices. I’m so happy we purchased this book.
