About the author

Cecilia Johansson divides her time between her shared studio in arty Stockholm and her boyfriend’s small old cottage an hour outside the city, where the only neighbors are Mr. Elk and the Fox family. When not illustrating in her studio, she likes to play outdoors. She finds a lot of inspiration in nature and loves to go on long runs — she is training for her fifth marathon!

[Siobhan]

A wonderful read from my childhood, one I’d certainly suggest for other youngsters. Whilst it is not my all-time favourite childhood read I can still recall all the details of this one meaning it certainly left a lasting impression upon my young mind.

And isn’t that what we want with children’s books, for them to leave a positive lasting impression?

A tactile, rhyming book that is perfect for teaching kids about different animals while also celebrating the love for daddies.

Feel the patterns
on my skin.
I stretch up high,
I'm tall and thin!

Just like Daddy!

☰ REVIEW:

I like the touch and feel thing. It's fun and special.

Concludes my top 3 Children's books! Love this one and the fun pictures! I am not sure if Noah enjoys it has much as I do, but I love being a Dad and I hope I can live a good enough life that Noah will want to be somewhat like me!

Very cute book I love touch and feel books. The only odd part, it tells you to touch and feel the belly and feet of the mokey but it's the body that is soft and the pajamas,we're told to touch aren't soft but the blanket it. Otherwise really cute book!

I know I read this to charlie when he was younger, but I must not have written it down.

now that we're reading it again charlie is really liking the touch and feel sections as well as the repetitive words just like daddy.

Convince children by inference that you are tall, swift, intimidating and agile while they are still gullible enough to believe it. It's a charlatan's charter.
