This is probably my favorite of the "Usborne touchy-feely books" that I found on my mom's bookcase and want to remember for when I begin working again in a child care setting. All of the prompts contained in this book seem accurate to me, and pertain directly to the sense of touch. One cue I found especially interesting and unique among these books was the feeling of "velvety" on the first page. I also like this book because it too, like the That's Not My Puppy book, provides an example of the object of possession being a living being. However, unlike That's Not My Puppy, this books discusses a creature that is less commonly owned among households, which suggests that this type of "stemming" activity can be done in an imaginative way with objects found in the learner's outside environment rather than having to be done with objects or organisms that exist directly within the learner's immediate household or classroom environment.
