Advantages: Bright bold pictures, develops sensory awareness

Disadvantages: none

Another book in the Usborne touchy-feely range of books, the focus of this one is trains!

The book is a boad book, written by Fiona Watt illustrated by Rachel Wells. The RRP is £5.99 though I have seen it cheaper in Tesco and on amazon.

As with other books in this series the pictures are bold and bright with an area of different texture on each page.

On the front cover is a red train, above the picture is the title "That's not my train...." under the picture is the text "its wheels are too squashy" over the 5 double pages are illustrations of other trains each with a part that is touchy-feely but not right until the last page. Areas focussed on in this book are the windows, funnel, sides, roof and engine.

In addition to the touchy-feely areas and the 'story' there is a little white mouse on each page that you and your child can look for.

This is curently a big hit in our household as we live alongside a railway line and my son loves trains, so he often gets this book from his bookshelf and brings it over for us to look through together, he likes to turn the pages and loves to explore the different textures.

Summary: A great book for a train mad toddler
