I don't know which came first, but this is pretty much the same book as 'That's not my Bear', only girly. My toddler loves it and she especially loves to touch the wings on the second fairy, which are like a soft fur.

She used to enjoy finishing the sentences for me as her vocabulary started to expand and I had read it to her so many times that she knew it all by heart. A lovely book which gives babies and toddlers the opportunity to touch different textures - fluffy, bumpy, shiny, frizzy. She then taught seven, eight, and nine year olds for five years; three years at a state school in Sevenoaks in Kent, and two years at The British School in the Netherlands in The Hague.She started working at Usborne in 1989 and has written and edited hundreds of books including baby and novelty, sticker, art and craft, cookery, science and activity books. It allows the child to explore their visual and touching senses, becoming familiar with the different textures and as they get older, they will become familiar with the link between the word and the texture, e. The premise behind this work is a kid's touch-and-feel book which involves outfits that fairies where and wands, etc. My gripe with this one is that three of the six textures are way too similar-shiny, sparkly, and smooth (which is a shiny silver material). My little girl is too old for this now but she used to love the textures in this book up until the age of 2.

She also dressed up as a fairy from the book and took it with her on World Book Day to a Mother and Toddler group event where the children where asked to dress up as their favourite book characters.

Having joined Usborne in 1989, Fiona became an editorial director in 2003, largely responsible for writing baby and novelty books, as well as art and activity titles. Every page has a part of the fairy that is made using different materials, allowing children to touch. My daughter loved feeling the different textures throughout, but was particularly enchanted by the shiny bits on all of the pages.

She likes to “read” them to her dolls and stuffed animals since the repetition makes it very easy to memorize. This is a good book to get children interested and interacting with books, engaging in the words being said and looking at the pictures. I would say that this book is suitable for children as young as seven months with adult supervision right up to around the age of three.There are five fairies to meet in the book, with shiny dresses, sparkly wands and fluffy wings, and children can cuddle the plush fairy as they listen to the book being read.

It could be used in an early years setting to explore the senses and to associate describing words with the texture.
