Pat the Bunny (Touch and Feel Book)

This is the best touch and feel book I have come across...your baby can not only pat the bunny but also do several other things like learn to play peek-a-boo, smell the flowers, look in the mirror and so on...my daughter absolutely loves looking at the book and I love reading it out to her...whenever she cries I start reciting the book to her to calm her down and it works! she has the book memorised coz as soon as I get to the end she starts waving bye-bye just before I get to that part...however, I wish this book would come in a sturdier version (like a board-book) as my daughter has already torn off her first copy and I had to buy another copy for her...

We bought this book 35 years ago for our babies. We must have bought a least a dozen more over the years for our friends young ones. It is a great first book for little ones both fun to read and to teach touch.

This was one of my favorite books when I was a child. I guess it's because of all the fun things to do while your reading it. I'm almost 30 years old and my mom still has my copy from when I was younger. I just purchased it for my 15 month old son this past Christmas. We sit and read/play it together and then put it up when we're done. It's definitely not a book that you can let a little one toss around, but it's still a classic, in my opinion!

I thought about getting this book for years before actually buying it. Wish I hadn't waited - it's absolutely adorable! Completely interactive - every page has something different for children to do. Not just a "feel the textures" book, this one has your child playing peek-a-boo, smelling flowers, putting their fingers through a ring, looking in the mirror, reading "Judy's book" (yes, a book within a book), and of course, feeling Daddy's scratchy face and patting the bunny. At the end, the two kids wave bye-bye.

Just a great book. My 10-month-old loves it and actually cries for it. She can do most of the things (won't smell flowers yet). Even my 3-yr-old wants me to read it to her. The only thing wrong with it is the plastic comb format. The book is so delicate, so fragile, that we have it stored up high in its box (which was stepped on already). I think my baby could demolish the book in about two seconds flat if given the opportunity.

This book was much loved by my now-grown daughter, and I purchased a copy for her friend's new baby. I anticipate he will love it too. I am waiting for its arrival in Nova Scotia!
