Irresistible to inquisitive fingers, the strokeable features within each book in the ‘That’s not my...’ series help an owner to know its pet. In That’s Not My Puppy, the puppy’s coat is too hairy, the tail is too fluffy, the ears are too shaggy but the lovely squashy nose is just right.
A message from Peter Usborne, the founder of the 'That's not my...' series:
2009 sees the 10th anniversary of the publication of That's not my Puppy, the very first title in our flagship Touchy-feely series. Now a phenomenal success, this series is quite obviously adored by the very young.
A sparkly special edition of the very first That's not my… book to celebrate 20 years of That's not my… books! Babies love the best-selling That's not my… books with their bold illustrations, patches to stroke, and a mouse to spot on every page, all designed to develop sensory and language awareness.
