Inspired by the Montessori method of education this tactile book of textures engages children with the natural world through touch and encourages children to interact imaginatively with their environment.

My World is an engaging series inspired by the Montessori method of education where each title features hands-on, practical learning. Enthusiastic young learners can explore many exciting topics presented in creative, unique formats.

Another one of the best touch and feel books

[Barbara · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ideal for toddlers and parents who are teaching them about texture, this appealing board book even has a fuzzy blue handprint on its cover, which is sure to entice readers. It's clearly intended for exploration as well as imaginative play and conversations about the various objects inside. One by one, various objects are introduced, allowing readers to experience for themselves and make observations about things that are fluffy, crinkly, smooth, bumpy, sticky, spongy, furry, rough, scratchy or soft. While readers are able to experience only one example of each of these, the text and illustrations include several along with some pertinent questions intended to deepen thinking or encourage comparisons and contrasts. Part of the My World series, this title will definitely fit perfectly in a home with a child just starting to explore the world or in a preschool classroom.

My 20-month-old LOVES this book. This book is better than other touch books because it shows what other things have similar textures. It's a good suggestion for parents looking for sensory ideas.
