A fun interactive board book about pets with different textures to feel, flaps to lift and moving parts to jiggle. With a bouncy, rhyming text and colorful close-up photographs, this book features a wide variety of pets. The book's sturdy construction makes this a good one to include in preschool units on pets.

Celebrate all kinds of pets with touch and feel elements and sturdy pull tabs that create moving parts. I appreciate the extra attention that went to making this book sturdier than many Van Fleet board books, though the last page pop-up will still most likely be smushed quickly.

The child within me was SO PSYCHED for this book! The book has textures to touch, pop-up pieces, AND pieces that MOVE! So cool. Must-buy for families with small kids and libraries with young patrons. Highly highly recommend.
