I love Matthew van Fleet's work. He takes the touch-and-feel book to whole new levels with his artistry. This book is all about tails - shocking, I know - but the subject is secondary to the illustrations. He uses a combination of fabric patches and hair (like most touch-and-feel books), moving

pieces like swishing tails, pull up and slide out tabs, scratch-and-sniff, and glittering metallic foil. Everything is tastefully joined with cute illustrations and simple rhyming text. The only down side is that it so clever and sweet, I don't like leaving it in my girl's room, board book or not. They are too curious and destroy it. I actually already bought a second copy. Now I keep it in the library and take it out to read with mommy's supervision. We all love it. Show Less

This book describes many different kinds of tails. Some examples that are provided are: frisky, fluffy, stringy, scaled, strong, long, broad, slinky, small, and large. This is also a great book because the kids can touch and feel the different textures of tails.

Children will love all the tails. Feel the different textures and make the tails move.
LibraryThing member marita65
Children love this book because they can feel textures of a variety animal's tails.
Especially little ones that have fascination about pulling animal tails.

Toy book with textures, foldouts, insets, even a scratch-and-sniff skunk tail (missing from the library book I read) to go with a rhyming text about animal tails. The colorful pictures show animals behaving unrealistically, but they're having fun and so is the reader / toucher and puller of pages.

Children are much more interested in playing with the book than in the text. The book ends with names of all the animals shown and finally suggests going back to count the number of each type of animal. I have never heard of a pangolin. Show Less

Extremely sturdy, this book can stand up to curious hands. The story itself is not spectacular. But the high level of interactivity more than makes up for what the storyline lacks. You can experience the bumpiness of an alligator tail and the fuzziness of a tiger tail, you can even experience the

stench of a skunk tail. It's sure to entertain your little ones, I recommend this book. Show Less

Various animals tails, and their textures, are features. Includes moving parts.

The rhymes may not flow perfectly, but the special effects, (lift-the-flaps, pull tabs, textures, and peacock "bling") make up for any imperfections in cadence. The scratch-and-sniff skunk is irresistibly disgusting! Great fun for toddlers and toddler storytime.
LibraryThing member lissabeth21
My pre-schooler loved this; though I can easily see toddlers going crazy for it too. Tons of opportunities to touch, manipulate, and even SMELL in this book. (WARNING the smelling part is extra fun when you catch your big brother unawares!) I have a feeling we will not only read this again, but use
