I read this with a baby, although I seemed more into it than him...I think he knew I was trying to distract him from tummy time

The subtitle of the book is “A First Sensory Book”, but I disagree. My grandson loved the furry animal touch books when he was a baby. This book has more advanced subjects such as xylophones to rub your thumb across and drums to tap; it is perfect for the toddler age. It keeps my toddler engaged all the way through (a win! And a 5 star!). There is not a theme to the objects, other than that they all have interesting feels or sounds. The book has bright primary colors throughout which I’ve noticed that this younger reader likes. Another example of a book he loves with great colors is Hello Hello.

A fun sensory book but not really a read aloud.

Εξαιρετικό δεν έχω βρει κάτι παρόμοιο στην Ελληνική αγορά βιβλίων..

I got this book today. I wasn't really into it at first - I resisted touching the pages like Mommy wanted - but once I did touch them I kept going back to it. All of the different textures made me think. I especially liked the mirror at the end. I pulled it right up to my nose and smiled at the other baby. He smiled back, too.

A gift for V. from Sis Doty. Love sensory books--and I'm so glad we have one for V. First couple of times we read she was indifferent. But she's starting to connect a bit more.

‘See, Touch, Feel: A First Sensory Book’ By Roger Priddy

This lovely book is a wordless book where the child can have activities to be able to see different pictures, and to touch and feel different textures. This book allows for the child to be introduced to the development of their senses and grow from the different illustrations. When you open the book the first pages is a baby playing with many different colors and observing what they have done with the numerous colors on the pages. These types of textures continue throughout the book in hopes to attract the attention of the child. On one of the pages there is an image of a teddy bear that has a fuzzy belly, just like a bear the reader would have. When children read this they will enjoy being able to interact with the illustrations, whether that is touching or feeling different textures or seeing the many colors or themselves in the mirror design. This book is recommended for children 6 to 18 months.

[Kinley Schnell]

Summary: The book contains pages with different textures and pictures for the reader to interact with. It transitions to noise, sight, and touch, throughout the whole book.

Response: I personally would not use this book unless I was teaching maybe kindergartners. It is informative about what the senses are however there is no storyline to this book at all. I would try and find a different book that explained the senses.

Classroom: I would use this book to inform my students about the senses and do a lesson where they had the opportunity to use all of their senses. Maybe make sensory bags for the students, have different smells, etc.

[Bud and Mama · Rating 4 out of 5]

We got this as a gift when Bud was born and have read it with him at least once a week since and he is nearly 1 now. This book is brilliant with some high contrast images for infants, crisp and colourful shapes to engage a little one as you start to read with them and brilliant as they start to communicate and can point out bits that interest them and start to explore the textures for the,selves. I could see Bud still enjoying this even another year from now.

The only potential issue is that it is heavy so little ones can’t manipulate it easily themselves.

After reading this book, I feel that this is age appropriate for infants to toddler age groups. This interactive book will help spark the interest of the very young reader with all of the high-contrast textured illustrations and activities on each page. The reader will be engaged by the many sensory experiences of see, touch, and feel interactions throughout the story. It helps introduce them to the love of reading at a very young age while simulating the reader's senses.

This book is under the pew of our church for the children to look at during service. My two year old frequently pulls this book out and swipes his hand across every page. It keeps his attention every Sunday so I have to say it is a very good book for little ones! I love the paint illustrations and the varied textured surfaces.

[Lindsay · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars. I love the concept and visuals of this book, which aims to present different textures on each page for baby to feel. However not all of the pages really have distinct-enough textures to really be sensed. This would get 5 stars if the publisher were able to further exaggerate the textures on each page.

[Mary Potter-Henderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading this with both my babies. The tactile feature with the use of various textures is wonderful. We were able to use it as they grew too. Now, my older one likes to open to the "big hand/Little hand" page and compare our hands to that in the book, and see how he has grown. It is a good sensory book.

[Castor · Rating 4 out of 5]

This sensory book features high-quality, large, sturdy pages, colourful images, minimal text, and a variety of textures. The xylophone page is remarkably well-structured. Compared to other sensory books, it is relatively simple and less content-driven, making the reading experience more exploratory. It easily engages young readers and invites them to touch and feel.

Get this for your/your friend’s/family member’s baby!

This was one of the first books I got my daughter. This is a fun book with lots of textures, color and diversity in children.

We have been enjoying this for over a year now.

My 7mo almost 8mo old *loves* this book. It’s her favorite book. She loves the real pictures of other babies. She starts to screech in pure excitement! It’s fascinating and makes me want to get other real photo books. 100/10 recommend to other parents of infants!

Jack gravitated to this book today at Square Books Jr. because of the fun textures, bright colors, and mainly the numbers, of course! He flipped through the pages multiple times and I read it aloud over his shoulder.

[Cathie Stumpenhaus · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun for me to read to my grandson.

[Paul · Rating 2 out of 5]

The activities are OK I guess, but in comparison to some of the other books on the market there’s not enough definition for the babies, so they lose interest far sooner.

Read this to grandson.

[Casey · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wanted to get my son some more tactile books for his collection, and he absolutely loves this one. He'll run his hands over all the pages, and he loves the drum!

[Kristen · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a pretty good sensory book for young children. I do wish it had more to it, but it does get a young childs attention. Well for a short while.

[Marsie · Rating 4 out of 5]

The size of the book was larger than other board books my grandchild was drawn to. I wonder if it would have been more engaging if slightly smaller.

[Amanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

My son loves to touch everything while I read it to him.

Beagánín gearr i mo thuairim. Beidh sé níos fearr nuair a tá sí níos sine (12-24 mí)
