Very sweet book.

A great book for toddlers and babies to learn about dogs and touch their furry bodies and toys.

With one statement/question per page, there isn't much to read. The photos of the puppies (playing ball, eating a slipper, etc.) are a nice change from illustrations. In addition to discerning textures, there was plenty of other things: colors, numbers, size. See the review.

Although I consider the title to be a bit tautological, I must admit that I am a sucker for "touching" and "feeling," whatever the distinction may be. Scout better watch out now...

Yay Dogs!

I like the textures that are combined with the basic words of this book. Toddlers and other pre-readers in particular will like the varied puppy feels, especially the rubbery noses at the end of the book.

I still feel that these books could have more interesting textures.

This is a book I like to read on my own. I like to touch the puppy fur.

We had a whole collection of these DK Touch and Feel books when my daughter was a toddler, and she loved them all. Simple words, colorful photos, and great textures to touch and feel.

I can't rate this anything less than 5 stars; it's adorable.It reminds me of when I was a toddler. :)

What a fun book! Various textures to experience and cute puppies.

Cute little touch and feel book -- not much else to say about it (except puppy's noses are quite a bit wetter than the leather in this book, but I suspect that's an issue of practicality)!
