Machines

Somehow I couldn't shake the creeping dread while reading this book: "Carrie Calf; Percy Pig; Henry Horse; yes, yes, I have eaten all of these!" Also Dana Duck is on the cover but not in the book, which is stupid, and it's kind of pushy putting the little handle on it like your kid is supposed to carry it everywhere like their favourite book is supposed to be fucking Farm Animals by Make Believe Ideas Inc.

This book contains bold photographs of wild animals and farm animals. This book also has simple text for toddlers. It is a soft book for them to hold.

Touch and feel textures

A book about the tickle monsters and it comes with 4 tickle monster finger puppets so you can tickle your child!

This is a very durable book with a carry-me handle. It has very bright vivid colors and a rhyme like story about several wild animals. There are also patches of fur, whiskers and leather to touch and feel for babies.

I really like this board book, being that I'm the mom of a four month old. I believe this will come in handy in the next few months.

I believe this book is a little below the school level and might not have a place in the classroom.
