Having just had a little girl three months ago, I was looking to introduce her to the pleasures of reading at as early an age as possible. Now maybe shes still too young, but someone bought us this as a present and I can honestly say this, along with the what seems like the hundreds of others in the set, is a pure delight for both parent and child to read. The concept is simple but oooh so effective- the cover begins with "Thats not my....monster/kitten/puppy/teddy (delete where applicable) and continues through half a dozen pages until the final page declares "thats my monster/ donkey/ muppet because.....his ears are soooo fluffy, his nose is sooo ...  Read the complete review

I honestly believe that introducing a child to books from an early age really does help them to listen and manipulate sounds and eventually overtime understand the meaning of these wonderful noises we make. My son is now approaching 10 months and since he was probably a month old I've been reading to him be it at bedtime or after lunch, although in the early days I was reading Terry Pratchett and Private Eye articles rather than the baby books. It wasn't until my son was 8 months old that I came by this range of books at a local Waterstones bookshop where they were priced at £5.99 which wasn't that bad a price although I have since found them retailing on ...  Read the complete review

That's Not My Monster is a fantastic little book in the Usborne Touchy-Feely series of books. Written by Fiona Watt and illustrated by Rachel Wells these books build into a comprehensive collection featuring many colourful characters. This particular book was not the first That's Not My book that I purchased for my son, however it is one of my favourites overall. I have recently purchased this book again and put it away as a Christmas gift for my nephew. All of these books follow the same format, however they are rather different in terms of the touch and feel textures inside them and the characters that appear. That's Not My Monster ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this item for my children from Asda last week whilst stocking up on their book collection. My local Asda now has a great range of childrens books available in store, so I told them we would walk down and treat them to a few. My daughter had previously had another book from this range called 'That's not my bear' which still remains a firm favourite since I purchased it over a year ago. There are now numerous books in this range by Usborne which are bright, colourful and feature a range of different textures for children to see and touch. I have this book in a hardback version, I am unsure if they are available in a paperback version, but ...  Read the complete review

I had bought my youngest child a selection of these board books for Christmas, he is now 18 months old and four months after Christmas these books are still a firm favourite, so they were a very good investment. I purchased 3 books in the series, the cover price is £5.99, a bit too expensive but they were on 3 for 2 so I bought 3. I originally bought "That's not my teddy", "That's not my monkey" and "That's not my monster", we have since bought a few more in the series including "That's not my bunny" and "That's not my kitten". I am reviewing the "That's not my monster" but will make mention of some ...  Read the complete review
