Cute durable book

This book is great and very colorful. I got it to give away and couldn't part with it. the touch and feel parts are really great.

Almost a perfect 5!

We love this collection. It keeps kids engaged and allows them to interact with the book (pulling out tabs) though it can be difficult to pull them out and then wiggle them back in, depending on your child's age---hence the 4 star review. The books are hardbound and each page has a laminated feel for durability. They are nicely portable as they are small so great for the diaper bag! Unlike the smaller one in this type of Magic Windows collection this one offers the touch and feel feature. The kids love them!

Fuzzy but I wish it were fuzzier.

Overall, this is a great book! I got it for my soon-to-be nephew, and of course took it out myself to play with, as these types of books were my first memories growing up. One thing I wish is that there were a little bit more difference in textures and such for each different animal. Otherwise, a great book!

wonderful interactive book for tactile toddlers!

This & the other Magic Windows Touch & Feel books are my highly tactile 16-month-old son's VERY favorite books (well, it's a toss-up between these and the "That's Not My..." series). He loves to look at the bright colors (including lovely effects like the shimmering iridescent butterfly wings) and feel all the different textures, not to mention notice the changing pictures and "reveals" when I pull out the center panel of each page for him. This series has a much wider variety of textures than most touch and feel books -- not just the usual furry and rough, but also slippery, sticky, bumpy, etc. It's also blessedly free of the usual "scratch & sniff" page, which usually gives me a headache. I'd give this 5 stars except that the inner tab panels are very difficult to pull out, even for me, and will probably still be too difficult for him when he's 3 or 4 and will be moving on from this kind of book. Also because of the moving parts and assembly of materials, it's not the most durable book -- my toddler only gets to play with it when I'm with him, as I'm afraid he'd destroy the book and/or choke on parts he pulled off if left with it unsupervised in his crib or playpen.
