A simple and cute book that I, ahem, my son received as a gift from an UK penpal. Each page consist of a Christmas-themed drawning and a part of it is covered by material. Baby can touch different types of materials or just chew on the book (as mine did)... Book resists on small cheeing but any longer and it will "rot" :)

A simple book that introduces babies to different types of textures. The text is perfect for little ones with short attention spans. The order of the textures could have been planned out better though. The "fluffy snowman" is opposite the "prickly tree" and those two pages keep sticking together.

This is cute. I read this for my son's reading time. I love this book, use it to help my son learn different textures.

A simple book to introduce a variety of textures with a Christmas theme. The small pages are easy for babies' little hands to hold and turn. The last two pages highlight the colours of all the previous pictures. It would be better if the words were more Christmas-specific, e.g., "squashy reindeer nose" instead of just "squashy nose" and "velvety Santa hat" instead of just "velvety hat".
