Very fun noises and feels. I love it.

[Gabriel Wallis · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was entertaining to watch my daughter's reaction when I read this book to her. She absolutely loved the textures and the animal calls in the book. The book went over puppies, penguin chicks, lion cubs, elephant calves, and kittens.

(5☆ Would recommend & would read again)
Great book to teach animals. The tactile and audible aspects help little ones engage in the book. This can be a little annoying for parents, especially if kids repeatedly press the buttons. But the love for books that this book creates is worth it.

I'm certain I will regret purchasing this for my library.

Cute, simple and sweet. Really keeps your baby/toddler engaged in learning the animals and the sounds they make.

Precious !! My daughter loves the feeling part of the book and sounds

[Kristen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Names of all the baby animals, simple animal facts and each page has a button to make the baby animal sound.

Auntie Kristen read this to be over Zoom.

We've had this book for years. It is a cute introductory book on animals for little kids that includes elements of both sound and touch to expand the learning.

Will be better when Baby A is older (7mos)

My child had colic and this would get him to settle down and listen. We’ve read it 100 times this year

I really like the furry animals and noises but the buttons were kind of hard for my little fingers to press!

[Evelyn Klein · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loves all the sounds and soft things to touch!

[Mollie St. John · Rating 5 out of 5]

My 11 month old LOVES this book. There are 6 distinct animal sounds when you press a button, as well as fur to touch for the various animals. Highly recommend!

All my toddler clients love this book. It’s perfect for identifying animals and practicing fine motoe skills.

[Wesley · Rating 4 out of 5]

9-months 9/10 LOVES. But it’s too hard for him to currently push the noise button. Extra points for the off switch

[Robin Obara · Rating 4 out of 5]

Other than not wanting to listen to animal sounds on repeat, this book offered interactive, multi-sensory input to learn about animals and their noises.

[Sylvia Huber · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was my daughter’s first favorite book! For awhile, she wouldn’t let me read anything else! I was surprised that she sat through reading it, since, as a 9-month-old, the pages were much longer than she would put up with for any other book. I think she loved the pictures and bright blocky backgrounds as much as the sounds. She eventually loved the textures too. I love that the syntax is simple, but doesn’t shy away from animal-specific vocabulary.

By now, it's clear that I love books that allow my tactile senses to be tantalized. Not only does this adorable board book appeal to those, but it also allows me to have glimpses of five different animals while stroking their fur and hearing the sounds they make. An oval shape on a puppy, a penguin, a lion cub, an elephant, and a kitten allow readers to touch their fur or skin and cause that sound. The final page pulls all the animals together. The only thing that was problematic was that I sometimes needed to press really hard or find just the right spot to hear the elephant's trumpet or the kitty's meow. I wouldn't want little ones to think that's how to handle an actual animal, and I also might be concerned about whether they'd have enough patience to keep pressing gently until they could hear the sound.

Nuo pat mažens vaikus labai traukia gyvūnai, o ypatingo dėmesio susilaukia gyvūnų mažyliai – juk jie tokie mieli! Šioje knygelėje galima ne tik apžiūrėti juos iš arčiau, bet netgi išgirsti ir paliesti. Apžvalga: https://profesionalimama.wordpress.co...

I really like all the animal sounds in this book! My mommy helps me push the buttons since I’m not quite strong enough yet, but I like to point at where I know they are! I like to try and make the animal sounds before we push the button and the furry, soft, and velvety textures of each animal are fun to pet! I always bring this book to my mom to read because it’s my favorite!

Love the noises. Love the touchy feely.

[Brianna Shrout · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wish there was more things to feel for this book but we did enjoy it! The board books make it much easier to read with a little one!

[Sarah T. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this at a storytime for babies and their moms. Even the little baby who was too young to properly do the animal sounds when encouraged, she sure loved yelping and making baby sounds when prompted! It was adorable.

my 3 month old went nuts over this book
