I don’t think it will take too long before toddlers are recognizing certain words and asking you to read this book over and over. Story is meh (I feel defiant about all these no animal touching statements 🤣) but the silicone textures are great.

The text on the left side of the page has different fonts and colors and is just as vivid as the critter it describes. We may have been the very first family to borrow this from the library, because all the pages were incredibly clean. And in my opinion, if you’re attempting to teach recognition of various words, this makes it easier to do. Not so with this terrific series that has a boldly colored animal on the right side of every page with a large section of that creature containing a contrasting color of distinctively bumpy, swirly, and/or striated rubbery-ness.
