Reviews

[Castor]

A beautiful touch-and-feel book with very fine illustrations and realistic textures, i.e., leathery nose for the fox and velvety poppy petals. The large format and sturdy pages are suitable for babies. Much more durable and better-designed than the other commercial touch-and-feel books, such as the "That's Not My..." series. The text incorporates more advanced vocabulary and counting concepts. The book can be re-read and enjoyed by toddlers.

[Dorothy Mahoney]

A beautiful, beautiful pop-up book. It was an immediate Easter hit with the hidden mole as a favourite, although the bumblebee and ladybug were clever. Destined to be opened over and over and over again! Not always read, but always enjoyed.
