very good

this is a very good keep busy book for our 18 month old and when we read it together we do the touchy feely of the different surfaces and look for the mouse...

baby's favorite

2007-10-30
Our 6 month old loves this book already. She can enjoy the story which is necessarily short and is already reaching for the touchy feely parts on each page. We love reading it to her and seeing her eyes light up when we bring out this book each evening.

Buy new if your baby puts things in their mouth

Great books. Buy board books and touch and feel books new. Think of all the babies that have put them in their mouths. I bought mine at www.suesbooks.info There are so many new titles and new internet savings that are available. Doesn't your baby deserve clean books?
They make great stocking stuffers, pre-school teacher's presents, holiday and special treat gifts, birthday presents. Most of mine I received free. Find out how.

My baby loves it!

short and sweet, my 9-month-old baby loves this book. she has a couple of favorite pages, but we often look at this book. we also have That's Not My Train, which she also enjoys. I think we need to get more! a really great book!

a FAVORITE first book!

We started reading this book to our daughter when she was just a few months old and it is definately a favorite first book! The words are simple, repetative (but in a cute way not an annoying way:) and there is a new texture to touch on every page. It's so interactive. This is one of the few that our daughter loved to sit all the way through and it's small enough to go everywhere with us (and now that she can walk, she really can carry it with her everywhere:).

Well done!

That's Not My Puppy: Its Coat Is Too Hairy is short and sweet on length, but wonderfully entertaining with textures. This is a great, sturdy board book that very little readers will enjoy multiple times.

And, when you've explored all you want about the dogs, you can always discuss that cute little mouse who seems to appear on every single page!

Cute, educational, and very, very entertaining. This is a must for your toddler's library.

A Touching Book

2008-07-07
This is another winner in this board book series, written by the "touchy-feely" team of Watt, Fiona, and Usborne. It's essentially a monologue by an unseen narrator (perhaps a young toddler like the book's audience),who notes why various breeds of dogs are NOT his or her own.

The illustarions are bright primary colors, against similar but contrasting backgrounds. Embedded within the triple-thick board book pages is some texture-rich material described in the book. These attributes enable the narrator to label and categorize the various dogs, and to deduce that the pictured dog is NOT "my puppy."

Ultimately, after you and your young charge touch the materials, enjoy the bright volotd and varying breeds, and delight in the repetitive; "that's not my puppy," refrain, the tenacious reader/listener will celebrate the ultimate discovery of the beloved dog. A nice little vocabulary buikder and an all-around suinpke but fun boatd book that imaginative adults can enahnce with a nicely dramatic reading.

Cute for young ones

This book is cute. It has a different texture on each page. I would recommend using it for read-alouds for awhile. Young children may eat or tear off the "feely" parts.

Good textures. Too short.

2008-03-22
This is great as far as touchy feely books go. There are a variety of textures for baby to explore. But it is very short with a total of five page of text. And the text itself is fine but not very rich.

A good, quick, touchy-feely book

2008-02-22
I really like the "thats not my.." series. All the books are colorful, quick and cute. We also own "thats not my dragon" which I think my son (17 months) likes better than this one but all the books in this series are cute and I would recommend any of them!
