Animals Talk (Touch, Look, and Learn!)
The right-hand pages each feature a whimsical picture of an animal like a cow or a bee and a one-word sound at the bottom. A close-up of the creature’s fur or skin fills each sturdy facing page. Both pictures are designed with lots of texture, inviting little ones to run their fingers over the art, making for a nice tactile experience. One quibble: the last page shows a bear and the word roar. Growl might have been more appropriate, or perhaps the animal should have been a lion. Still, babies and toddlers will have fun meeting these animals for perhaps the first time. Preschool. --Ilene Cooper
