Fiona Watt and illustrated by Rachel Wells. It is visually engaging with the use of bright colours and reflective snowflakes and stars on each page. I also, think that it helps to develop language skills by using repetition and using the association of new descriptive words with the provision of sensory experiences by using different fabrics and materials to create various textures. The RRP of £5.99 is quite expensive but it is a hard backed book which has a wipeable surface so should stand up to the handling by very young children. It is also worth looking at the different on line sites as it could be much cheaper. A seasonal stocking filler. This review also ...

As with each of these books ...

The drawings are very simplistic, with thick outlines. PRICE The recommended retail price of the book is £5.99, but is possible to find it cheaper online and in some supermarkets. - CONCLUSION - I really enjoy these Touchy-Feely books, and this one is no exception. I am, however, only giving it 4 stars because I thought the absolutly plain backgrounds (with the exception of the "water lines" in pages 4 & 5) made the book look too stark. This is a ...
