Overview:
Discover a charming two-book collection from Usborne’s beloved That’s Not My... touch-and-feel series, crafted for babies and toddlers to explore with curious fingers and growing language. The set pairs a festive Christmas title with a playful Halloween entry, both in sturdy board-book format that’s ideal for little hands and repeated reading. That's not my angel... invites first readers to meet five gentle angels, each with distinctive tactile details—soft hair, sparkly slippers, and fluffy wings—designed to support sensory exploration and early vocabulary. The bright, friendly visuals pair with simple, repetitive phrases to reinforce word-object associations and foster confidence in emerging talk. That's not my bat... adds a spooky-soft twist perfect for fall and Halloween-sharing moments, featuring the bat’s plush textures and a touch of whimsy, complemented by eye-catching purple holographic page edges. Together, these two titles create a compact, engaging reading experience that supports sensory development, language acquisition, and the joy of shared reading during infancy and toddlerhood.

What This Collection Covers:
This two-book collection offers a gentle progression through sensory exploration with two distinct seasonal themes. The angel story leans into festive warmth, encouraging babies to notice textures and contrast as they stroke the fabric-like patches on five angel characters. The bat story pivots to a playful Halloween mood, inviting little readers to explore tactile elements while enjoying a touch of spooky-fun with a friendly bat and starry night visuals. The inclusion of purple holographic page edges in the bat title adds a tactile and visual cue that makes turn-taking and anticipation a part of every page. Across both titles, the books emphasize active participation—pointing, tracing textures, imitating sounds, and repeating simple descriptions—building early literacy, descriptive language, and memory through repetition and rhythm. This collection is ideal for fireside storytime, travel reads, or baby-classroom sessions where sensory play meets language.

Book-by-Book Guide:
That’s not my angel...—In this festive entry, five darling angels invite little readers to touch and describe textures, from soft hair to fluffy wings. Each spread presents a gentle scene on a Christmas-themed backdrop, with one angel featuring a patch that’s designed to be stroked and explored. The book’s familiar “That’s not my…” format invites children to anticipate the next texture, supporting sensory vocabulary such as soft, fluffy, shiny, and smooth. The approachable phrasing and high-contrast illustrations make it especially suitable for babies beginning to develop language skills and for parents seeking a calm, interactive reading ritual during the holiday season. The tactile elements and bright imagery encourage exploration, confidence, and a warm sense of wonder that families can share year after year. That’s not my bat...—This Halloween-themed entry adds a playful twist to the series, introducing a friendly bat perched against a night-sky backdrop. The bat’s ears, tummy, and wings offer varied textures for little fingers to explore, while the lush purple-toned pages and twinkling stars create a magical mood. The book preserves the series’ simple, repetitive structure, enabling toddlers to join in with phrases and actions as they locate the next textured patch. The purple holographic page edges add a subtle, extra layer of delight that helps sustain attention and anticipation as children anticipate each new tactile cue. Together, the two titles form a complementary miniature library of sensory reading for early years.
