About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their baby or toddler is ready to explore the world through touch.

"Really Feely Wild Animals" is a durable, tactile board book that pairs vibrant, real-life photographs of animals with interesting textures for children to explore. It nurtures a sense of curiosity and joy in discovery by making learning interactive. Ideal for ages 0-3, this book is a wonderful tool for sensory development and for building early vocabulary around animals and textures in a fun, engaging way.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a straightforward, secular, nonfiction concept book with no sensitive content.
Ideal Reader
A baby aged 6 to 18 months who is in a key phase of sensory-motor development and exploring the world with their hands. It is also excellent for a toddler aged 18 to 36 months who is learning animal names and adjectives, and who benefits from multi-sensory, interactive learning to hold their attention.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book is self-explanatory. A parent can enhance the experience by modeling how to touch the textures gently, making the animal sounds, and verbalizing what they are feeling ("Ooh, this is so soft and fluffy!"). A parent has noticed their baby is fascinated with different textures, or their toddler loves animals but gets restless with longer stories. The parent is looking for a book that can be an activity in itself, building vocabulary and sensory awareness while being sturdy enough for enthusiastic hands.
