Press

Usborne can be relied on to produce delightful books for the very young and Baby's Very First Touchy-Feely Book is no exception. A small format board book, each page presents a clear representation of a festive object (a Christmas tree, a present, a snowman, a stocking, etc.) against a plain background. There are lots of opportunities for talking with your baby about these exciting and evocative things in the run-up to Christmas and pleasure is enhanced by the touchy-feely element of each illustration - feel the shiny paper on the present, stroke the reindeer's squashy nose, run your fingers over the prickly Christmas tree.
