Overview
Give your little one a hands-on start to reading with the That's Not My... Touchy-Feely Series 5 Collection, six board books by Fiona Watt and illustrator Rachel Wells. Each title invites babies to press a different textured patch on every page, from fluffy scarves to shiny mirrors. The repetitive "that's not my..." refrain builds early vocabulary, while bold artwork holds tiny attention spans. Sturdy board pages stand up to eager little hands, making this bundle a dependable pick for storytime, travel bags, and bedtime.
About the Books
This six-book bundle gathers some of the best-loved titles in Usborne's globally popular That's Not My... series, built around the gentle formula that has made it a nursery staple since 1999. Written by Fiona Watt and illustrated by Rachel Wells, each book follows a small character (an elf, snowman, unicorn, mermaid, hamster, or baby) through a repeated search for the "right" one, with every page revealing a new touchy-feely texture. A soft scarf, a squashy nose, a shiny tail: each patch builds tactile discrimination, a foundational pre-reading skill, while short, rhythmic sentences support early language recognition. The hidden mouse tucked into many spreads gives sharp-eyed toddlers something extra to hunt for. Bright, high-contrast illustrations help develop visual tracking, and thick board pages survive chewing and enthusiastic page-turning. Caregivers can rotate titles to match the season or a child's fascination, offering a well-rounded introduction to touch, texture, and vocabulary.
