Sturdy board pages. 5 animals, each with the texture of its "kiss". A toddler-delighting squeak sound when you press the pages.
Animal Kisses is a cute little touch and feel book that will bring enjoyment to a variety of ages. Each 2-page layout features a different type of colorfully illustrated animal, and part of each animal is textured for the reader to feel. For example, the cat page asks "Do you like scratchy cat kisses?" and the cat's tongue is a sandpaper-like material. Other textures include smooth, sticky, velvety, and even squeaky for the pig.

My twin boys love this book. We got it as a gift for their first birthday and now at 18 months it's still their favorite. The best thing about this book is it helped teach them how to give a kiss to Mommy and Daddy! |

I have two sons. This is a great book for young kids (up to 24 months or so); simple enough to hold their attention. I routinely buy it for baby showers. Two issues that you should know about, though: 1) The squeaker starts out hard to squeak (you have to hit it in the beginning) but it loosens up and gets more user-friendly over time. 2) The "texture-feeling spots" are a bit small; we get around this issue by having each animal "kiss" my sons (raise the book to their faces) so they get to feel the texture with their noses and lips. |

My son is only 2-and-a-half months old and has been enjoying this book for a couple of weeks. The interactive features of the book are for older babies, of course, but he absolutely loves staring at the high-contrast pictures. Sometimes we go through the book two or three times before he's ready to move on to something else. I'd say it's a great first book, even for the really little ones. |

My daughter loves this book. She has been "reading" it since she was nine months and is now 15 months old and still enjoys it. She loves feeling the different textures on each page on the animal and enjoys literally giving each animal a kiss. When we read it to her we pair it with the animal's sound. She has learned a lot from this simple yet captivating book. |
