Touchy-Feely Sound Books Series

by ,
  • (110 reviews)

    Don’t tickle the lion, you might make it roar!

    But the touchy-feely patch is just too tempting! Find a different one on every page and tickle the animal to hear the sound.  Each one triggers a noise and at the end all the animals join in to make a noise at once.

    This is a lovely series for the youngest readers. The bright and friendly illustrations foster sensory awareness and the animal noises and simple text encourage language development. From Usborne books, the multi award-winning creators of the That’s Not My… series, these novelty books are designed specifically with babies and pre-schoolers in mind.

    They are great for independent play as toddlers can trigger the noises themselves and perfect for bedtime stories or out and about. You’ll have fun practising animal noises with your little ones as they smile and giggle at the different animals. 

    This new series launched in 2019 and already has nine books available, with lots more to come.
