Fantastic set for little ones! Content is great. Books are short and simple, but sturdy for little hands. And the tactile aspects are excellent. Highly recommend!

Nice pictures and textiles, but too abrupt of an ending. Where's the plot? Good to prop up for tummy time.

[Alison · Rating 5 out of 5]

These four books offer educational and pleasing rhymed style text along with animal textures for children to touch and feel. The textures are superior quality to other touch and feel books in that they are varied and realistic. In general the books by Roger Priddy are well-made for the child/baby age groups targeted.

I love the simplicibof these books. A bold color provides the background for each set of pages with no more than two pictures between each page pair. The accompanying rhyme for each animal flows naturally & rhythmically - of the four books,only one rhyme in one book has an approximate rhyme! The rest are perfect.

Two points to quibble over: in the book "perfect pets" the first rhyme talks about a "naughty pup" - not what I would call a perfect pet! ;-)

The bigger issue is that some animals are repeated from book to book. The pictures & rhymes are different from book to book, however, so this isn't a big deal for me.

Here is a list of the animals covered in each book in this set:

At the Zoo:
Lioness
Green lizard
Panda
Elephant
Zebra

Perfect Pets:
Dog
Goldfish
Rabbits
Parrot
Kittens

Baby Animals:
Bunny
Puppies
Goslings
Lambs
Tiger cub

On the Farm:
Ducklings
Sheep
Horse
Cow
Piglet

These are all books I'm asked to read over and over and over again. I love that pictures of actual animals are used & the tactile element of getting to "pet" each one. Of course the feel is not exact, but its often close. All of the animals have a cut out with the fur/scales/etc on the animals body - except for the panda. I was momentarily perplexed when on that page for the first time! The ears are the tactile element & its blends in quite well. I started my children on these books young enough I helped them "pet" the animals so I showed them where to go on that page. This may be confusing to some children, I'm not sure, it may take them a minute but I am sure they will figure out to touch the panda's ears!

If I could nit pick over the quibbles I mentioned, I'd drop the rating a half star to 4.5, but since the books are sturdy & those "issues" really aren't, it's certainly deserving of 5 stars.

Highly recommend.

My daddy (I'm one) read two of these books to me today, and I really liked them. I like touching the different textures and the little musical poems that are on each page. They're short and quick (only five pages), so we can read them at the drop of a hat! The whole pack is good, but I think I like Perfect Pets the best because of Bilbo!

Some different textures and patterns beyond the usual duck fuzz and lamb wool. It kind of worries me that the last baby animal is a tiger. You kind of expect that he made quick work of the other baby animals.
