Read to my nine month old nephew. We were both hooked! Would mouse even find his correct Koala? Well, I won't spoil it for ya. I must say though, how does mouse own such a menagerie, so many vehicles and mythical creatures?
I love this book for young children or beginning readers. I’m currently working on this book with a group of first graders. We are creating our own touch and feel books!
Love the illustrations and the sensory details. Jack wasn’t super into feeling the pages yet, just turning them, but I think he’ll grow to like it more.
I love the tactile books. It’s a great way to introduce different touch sensations to our baby girl while making reading fun. Cute illustrations and a durable design.
