Favorite board books for toddlers
My 18-month-old loves touch and feel books. The ones with different textures keep her busy for a long time. We like the 'That's not my...' series, but always looking for more.

Board book recommendations
Touch and feel books are a hit with my 9-month-old. He loves feeling the different textures and hearing the animal sounds. We have a jungle-themed one that's great.

Favorite kids board book
I find that touch and feel books don't hold up as well as regular board books. The textures can get worn out fast if your kid is rough with them. Stick with sturdy ones like 'Never Touch a Dinosaur'.

Touch and feel interactive book recommendations
Any recommendations for touch and feel books that aren't just the 'That's not my...' series? My daughter loves them but we need some new ones with different textures and themes.

Lift the flap, touch and feel – worth the investment?
Library staff here – we love them for engagement but honestly they get trashed quickly. If it's for your own collection, they're fine, but for circulation, they need frequent replacement. The sensory features are a huge draw though.
