Texture

by B.J. Best

Texture is one of the most readily experienced properties of an object for kids, and that's because we can perceive it through two touch and sight. With close-up photographs revealing the details of different textures, this book describes basic distinctions, such as rough versus smooth. It also explains the qualities of matter that make up certain textures, like fur.
