Very cute and fall.

It's okay--but as is typical of touch-and-feel board books, the text feels like a vehicle to deliver the textures. Whereas, I feel that the better quality books in this genre use textures to enhance a text.
That said there are some good textures in here. And my daughter loves this book. I have a feeling that she'll keep requesting that we borrow it from the library for quite a while.

The touch and feel aspects of this book are pretty average. Some are tiny spaces (squishy apples) and some are large (wicker basket). The story is lame, but the illustrations are cute.

What a cute book! This is a short Fall story that I didn’t even realize was touch-and-feel until my daughter asked me to read it.
I love touch-and-feel books, especially for little ones that are learning. My daughter has already asked me to read this multiple times. She loves it, as did my infant. I let him feel the pages, and he tries to keep the book.
The illustrations are beautiful, and full of color, plus this book teaches you by letting you feel different textures of objects.
I would recommend this book for little ones.

This is a great touch and feel board book. The illustrations are cute and the textures match wonderfully. The text is very simple and rhyming. This is a good seasonal choice for your little reader!

I love the rhymes and the pictures are so charming, but I wish the touch-and-feel elements were larger!

Really cute touch and feel fall book. 2 year old loved this and had to read it again right away.

This is a very, very simple book. There's only 8 pages, and the words ensured it felt like even less than that. There are short sentences and mostly just words used to describe sounds or feelings. Like "scritch, scratch," "plonk, plonk," "crinkle, crinkle," "crunch, crunch" and "hooray, hooray" that I could have really done without.
The first page had the most promise, and it steadily got worse from there. "In the fall the air is chilly, but my scarf feels warm and woolly." It was a long sentence. Woolly didn't rhyme with chilly but it wasn't too big of a deal. I thought the sentence "Rub my woolly scarf" sounded stupid. In fact, all of the sentences telling the reader to feel the item sounded quite stupid.
The artwork was simple as well, kind of loose and a little messy. Just enough to give the reader the idea of what it is without much detail. I liked the girl and the animals and the scarecrow. The pumpkins were pretty good too.
I wasn't so crazy about the page with the pumpkins. There's a big pumpkin on the ground, which has a good surface to touch, but then the little girl is holding what's supposed to be a tiny pumpkin that isn't shaped at all like a pumpkin. It looked like an orange bean. And pat the pumpkin was kind of a weird thing to say. And that plastic/rubber material, whatever it was, didn't feel anything like a pumpkin. Probably a bad choice to have a pumpkin, because you can't feel like through a man-made material like this.
The pie tin was also a bad choice to feel, I thought. It didn't feel like the tin used to put pies in, so that was a success, but I would have liked better items to feel. The leaves didn't feel like leaves in any way. It looked like that fancy paper used in scrapbooking, and the spaces were so small you could barely feel them.
The ending was bad to me. "Now there's one thing left to do . . . . We give our fall basket to you!" I don't like when books talk to the reader like that, especially to offer something. I think that would be confusing to kids when they don't actually receive a fall basket. The wicker feel was the second best, after the scarf.

Browsing books to give my friends' children as gifts since I won't gift anything I haven't first read myself.
This was a cute book with equally cute illustrations and some clever texture ideas for a touch-and-feel book, but a couple of the textures didn't exactly feel accurate to me and I found I personally like other books of this variety a bit more.
