Synopsis

Every parent who grew up with Pat the Bunny knows the appeal of an interactive reading experience. With their Touch and Feel books, DK Publishing takes a cue from Pat the Bunny to offer pleasing textures in a simple, educational format. My First Word Touch and Feel is a big board book with DK's signature crisp photographs of lots of everyday objects with textured "Feel the squishy bath sponge.... Touch my velvety dress.... Does this sandcastle feel rough?" The items that are not textured (lamp, sheepdog, sun hat, sandwiches, etc.) are captioned in easy-to-read text. Five double-page spreads are sorted under the following "Around the house," "At the beach," "Things to eat," "On the farm," and "What do you wear?" Toddlers will love developing their vocabularies as they learn to identify pictures (visually and through touch) and match the corresponding words. Be sure to explore DK's many other titles in their well-loved preschool learning series, from My First Body Board Book to My First Number Board Book to My First Farm Book. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

From Publishers Weekly

DK's My First Word Touch and Feel oversize board book links words to pictures and, in each full-color spread, two textures. A spread for "Around the House," for instance, shows a "blanket" and a "telephone" and invites youngsters to "Stroke the furry teddy bear" and "Feel the squishy bath sponge"
