One of Devin's favorites! He LOVES all the textures, and as a parent, I have to admit that this book has *way* more unique textures than any other touch-and-feel book I've seen.

One of the best read and touch books that I've come across. Very good at keeping the attention of an otherwise squirmy toddler.

I love it but I borrowed it from the library while it was new. I cannot imagine it lasting longer than a few months. Especially the removable sticker bits. Unsure why the library thought this was a good communal book

This is one of my granddaughter's favorite books we read together when she comes to my house.

This is Elliot's favorite book in September! He enjoyed touching all the different textures on each page. From fuzzy bugs to feathery bugs, lacy bugs and wrinkly bugs, sticky bugs and pillow bugs, he got a kick out of this touch-and-feel book we checked out from the library after a mom friend recommended it.

Surprisingly, not a tale of the emotional lives of overly-sensitive bugs, Feely Bugs instead turns the genre on its head by asking you what YOU feel. Fluffy? Feathery? Sticky? An emotional journey not for the faint of heart.

This is a fun book for young children, with lots of tactile surfaces throughout the book. The illustrations are cartoonish and simple and the narrative has only a few words on each page. It's a great book to read aloud with toddlers.

This one is cute. The toddlers love it. Little Miss even requested and enjoyed it tonight. It has literally two or three words on each page, rhymes well, and has a wide variety of textures that the little ones love to touch.

Both of my children have LOVED this book - almost from day one. They are very different kids, so this is quite a compliment.

This amazing book is full of bugs you can feel: fuzzy, sticky, feathery, etc. It's a MUST READ...if you have a baby. :)I have read this book about a 1000 times.

What's not to love about these David A. Carter "bug" books...in this one, tactile experiences abound. Perfect for toddlers.

My daughter loved this book as a toddler. Lots of great textures to touch and feel, with a simple rhyme about types of bugs.

[Amber Rivera · Rating 3 out of 5]

The textures were cool and the colors were bright but it was just an okay book.

[Tara · Rating 5 out of 5]

I got this for my daughter when she was about 3 years old. She was terrified of bugs, so I thought this might help abate some of her fears. It didn't.

She did love the book, though. :)

This was a great book to keep kids quiet at church. Great for tactile sensory development

Impressive feely materials, but nonexistent story.

One of my kid's favorites from baby days to toddlerhood
