Reach for this book when your toddler begins showing curiosity about the animals they see in the neighborhood or when you are preparing to welcome a new four-legged friend into your home. This tactile board book serves as a safe, controlled environment for little ones to explore the physical world through their fingertips. It uses high-contrast photography and varied textures to introduce the concepts of soft fur, bumpy skin, and smooth scales.
