That's Not My Dinosaur (Usborne Touchy Feely) Reviews

• Great Idea and Superior Quality

  My kids-age 3 and 1, LOVE this book. It features a different dinosaur on every page, with the refrain, "That's not my dinosaur, his..."horns are too rough",then on the next page it will be "flippers are too slippery," etc., all with the appropriately textured body part. Then on the last page you finally find "my" dinosaur. What makes this better than the standard touch and feel books out there is 1) Durability. The binding is plastic and the pages are super strong cardboard--my other board books are disintegrating but not this one 2)Variety of textures--much better than my "Touch and Feel Baby Animals," or "Wild Animals." 3)Adjectives--while babies and young toddlers can chew on it and touch the textures, older toddlers love learning the adjectives that go along: rough, scratchy, shiny, slippery, soft, etc." 4)Theme: toddlers love having the wrong dinosaur, and finding the right one at the end. (Trust me)The reason I gave 4 not 5 stars is dinosaurs are not the most exciting thing--I'm on-line today buying a baby gift and I'm going to get "That's not my Puppy," or "Kitten" or "Lion."
  
  

• Great book for little babies

  This was the first book I could read to my son. It is short, which is good for the limited attention span of the 3-4 month old, is so cute, and has interesting, bright simple pictures. He likes grabbing at the pages, too.
  
  

• It was good for about a month or so

  I have a 10 month old. I bought this for her when she was 9 months, and she loved it at first, but now she's bored with it. The bright colors and contrast are nice, but there's just not enough for them to sink their teeth into for very long. I would say its good for little babies, 3 months to 9 months.
  
  

• It's ok, but not the most engaging touchy-feely book

  Each page of this book shows a white mouse and a different dinosaur, and a part of each dinosaur is touchy-feely. One dinosaur has rough horns, one has bumpy teeth, one has slippery flippers, one has soft spines, and the one on the front has squishy spots.

  The book is ok, but the illustrations are not particularly great - the dinos don't have any facial expressions, and they are not doing anything interesting. The mouse doesn't seem to fit in either.

  My daughter is 10 months old and loves this book. It is the only one she doesn't try to close before the end. Simple, bright colors, nice thick pages and keeps her interest. She loves feeling the different textures on each page. She chooses this book over all her other ones. All the books by this author are very similar but we have two of them anyway.

  My kiddo is 3 now and has had this book for over a year now. She loves it ans will read it to us over and over. She loves the touch and feel and we play find the mouse game as there is a small white mouse on each page too! Great books also have this is not my dog.

• Entertaining for little ones throughout the infant, toddler, and preschool years

  This series of "that's not my" books is really done well. Bright colors with fun themes that kids like, and happy images. Good mix of textures in each book. My son loved them before he was one year old and was just reading this very book with delight a couple of days ago, and he's almost four. I highly recommend these (and almost anything else Usborne!)
  
  
• bedtime book

  Love this book! My 5 month old has been reading this before every nap and every night before bedtime. It's the only book he doesn't squirm away from! It's repetitive and the contrasting colors are enchanting! Love it!
  
  
• Great book

  My 1 year old son loves this book and the different textures. The only thing that could be better are more words or a story. All that the book keeps saying is "That's not my Dinosaur." But over all it's worth the money!
