Breath touch and feel board book about farm animals, but it was way too short. Should easily include twice the number of animals.

Cute with relevant textures, the kids in my class enjoy it.

This is a simple touch and feel book for babies, a text like this is great for tactile skills. The animals and vibrant colors give babies plenty to look at and interact with. The prompt I chose [What sub-format or category is the picturebook (e.g., ABC, Counting, Concept/Informational, Participation, Wordless, Predictable, Beginning Reader, Storybook, Graphic Novel, Engineered, or Baby/Board)? How do you know?] is shown to be a Baby/Board book through these qualities.

Both of my kids adored this little book before they could talk.

As the name suggests, the book shows and names different farm animals like ducks and pigs. There isn’t really a storyline, but I usually made one up as I went along.

My littles still pull this book out from time to time, though now they usually want to “read” it to me. It is a wonderful book especially for early language skills. The pictures and colors are bright and vivid. The touch-and-feel sections are entertaining and relatively realistic.

5 (simply cute) stars

A serviceable, I suppose, if perhaps too short, touch and feel book. I dunno. It's mostly fine. The phrasing is a bit awkward sometimes. But otherwise, there's really nothing to say. Just generic.

Cute book with fluffy and smooth animals to touch. The rhymes rhyme and have a good rhythm too. I like it that the cow page says the cow is "looking out at you"--way to draw a little kiddo into the book.

My son loves touch and feel books, but 3 of the 5 animals in this book have very similar textures, so he doesn't find this one as exciting as some of the other touch and feel books. He does, however, love the pink pig texture, whatever that is, as we don't have that in any of our other books!

This book series is wonderful for exploring little fingers who are learning new textures but also learning their animals. My oldest made me read these books every day for about three months because he loved learning about the animals and their sounds.

3.5 - the size (quite compact) and touch and feel elements are great; however the scansion is awkward at times.

[Shelley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very cute! My 8 month old baby girl and I really liked it, she touched the soft duck fur and the sheep fur and turned the pages, I loved the textures and the rhymes.

[Megababy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wish this book were longer. there are only 5 animals so it is very short. sometimes in this kind of book, instead of cloth spots some just have shiny areas that don't feel different, but this book had different textures in all five animals. there were also a lot of words for mom to read.

1/9/17 read this again tonight. I like the soft spots in the pictures a lot. there is even a soft place on the cover!

Cute

My grandson loved this book. He doesn’t usually stay still long enough for me to read his books to him. He stayed for all of this one!

Good for baby storytime.
