That's Not My Puppy: Its Coat Is Too Hairy (Watt, Fiona. Usborne Touchy-Feely Books.)

Customer Reviews:

My baby loves it!.......2007-09-13

short and sweet, my 9-month-old baby loves this book. she has a couple of favorite pages, but we often look at this book. we also have That's Not My Train, which she also enjoys. I think we need to get more! a really great book!

a FAVORITE first book!.......2007-05-22

We started reading this book to our daughter when she was just a few months old and it is definately a favorite first book! The words are simple, repetative (but in a cute way not an annoying way:) and there is a new texture to touch on every page. It's so interactive. This is one of the few that our daughter loved to sit all the way through and it's small enough to go everywhere with us (and now that she can walk, she really can carry it with her everywhere:).

Happy with this book.......2007-04-11

These books are really cute. My son (8 mos.) likes to feel the different textures, and my daughter (3 1/2) likes to find the mouse on each page. We have the dinosaur one also.

A FAVORITE!!.......2007-03-11

This is my daughter's FAVORITE book. She's nine months and we've been reading it regularly fo the past couple of months. She loves the basic repetition of 'that's not my puppy..' and especially loves the '..ears are too shaggy.'page. She'll reach for the feely parts of the book :)
It's to the point now where if she's fussy or bored we can recite a line from the book (without having the book, just from memory)and she instantly is destracted, looks up at us and smiles!
I'm super pumped to learn there's other books in the 'series'!! Wish I'd had known sooner :)

Great book.......2007-03-08

This is such a cute book my daughter loves it. She has started to read it to us now and loves the fuzzy pages.

Disappointment after "Pat the Bunny".......2007-09-19

I bought this because my one-year-old daughter loves Pat the Bunny and several similar books. Unfortunately this book is not nearly as fun for her and several pages are torn up after two uses, even though she's not all that destructive.

Several pages are more like a pop-up book, and the items pull right off. Other pages are just too hard for her to do. The content is not as interesting either. The only thing she actually likes are the shoes with Velcro you can work. I would not buy this book again and feel it was a waste of money.

Perfect for introducing the senses.......2006-07-01

As a pet therapy partner with my beloved poodle, Coco, and a "Reading to Dogs" pair, we love this little book as we discuss how to pet and tickle and love a dog.

Not as good as the original.......2005-07-17

My 12 month old daughter loved "Pat the Bunny" so I was excited to get this book for her, but it's not as good as the original. There is too much text in this one... it doesn't hold her interest as much and the activites inside the book are more difficult and not as toddler-friendly. She started destroying the book's activities in a day or two. Maybe for older kids it's better, but whereas the original book was fine for her level, this was a disappointment.

Not sturdy enough for toddlers.......2002-10-26

The idea is a good one, but the very first thing my toddler did was rip the frog off the page. Also, it's not board book, and it doesn't have regular paper pages, it's something in between. More like oak tag folded over to create stiff pages. Pat the Bunny is the only one of this series that I would recommend.

Why mess with the original?.......2001-08-30

Unfortunately, this is one of my 19-month old's favorite books, so I am subjected to it at least 8 times a day. The original, Pat the Bunny, is a sweet book that has an inherant, simple appeal for toddlers. Dated though it may be, it still retains a freshness that my whole family enjoys. I thought I was getting more of the same when I purchased Pat the Puppy and Pat the Pony, but this was not to be. These two books are fraught with political-correctness of a most annoying nature -- why does Granny have to go jogging, and Grandpa bake the brownies? Aren't small children comfortable with seeing stereotypical behavior in books? Give children more credit, and trust them to know that not all families are alike. They don't have to see it in a book to know that people have differences and these differences are to be celebrated. Another annoyance is that the book has too many words. Part of Pat the Bunny's appeal was its simplicity. I don't need to know that the puppy's name is Bailey, and now that I've patted him, do I need to tickle his tummy as well? By the time I read all those words, my daughter is expecting me to turn the page to get on to the next scenario.
Oh, and there's one small grammatical mistake -- we are asked whether Granny's sunglasses feel shiny. Is "shiny" something touchable?
I would not have purchased this book had I known there would be such a feeble attempt at copying the original. In fact, I would rate this book with zero stars if it weren;t for the fact that my daughter likes it. Ugh. Save your money.

Book Description

One of the original 12 Little Golden Books, The Poky Little Puppy has sold nearly 15 million copies since 1942, making it one of the most popular children’s books of all time. Now this curious little puppy is ready to win the hearts and minds of a new generation of kids.

Customer Reviews:

My favorite children's book.......2007-08-09

I was an early reader. I started reading books by myself at the age of 2. The Poky Little Puppy was one of my favorite stories as a child. I must have read this book tens of times... even though I had moved on to longer, more intricate stories. The morals of the story still ring true today.
I will be purchasing a new copy of this book for my baby once s/he is born. I intend to start reading the book to the baby right away. :)

A cheeky little poky puppy.......2007-06-19

I recently revisited this little golden book, a favourite story of mine as a child, I bought it to read to my daughter.
I find it to be an odd story, about a cheeky, puppy who tricks his siblings out of their dessert two nights in a row. He get's his just desserts (excuse the pun) in the end.
Really odd, but cute story, hasn't lost it's appeal.

Children's Story Telling at it's Finest.......2007-04-14

The whimsical way in which this beautiful book was written has been copied many times but it is still fresh as ever at each repeated reading.
The tumbling sentences perfectly describe the movements of the five little puppies and they traipse "down the road, over the bridge, across the green grass, and up the hill, one after the other." One of the original twelve Golden Books, this classic will likely never go out of print, there will most likely be a fresh hole dug under the fence EVERY morning, and all the puppies eventually get to eat dessert like Poky.

This books was one of my favorites growing up. I bought it to start my collection of books for my children in the future. I intend to buy most of the Golden Books since they are the books that I grew up reading.

The Pokey Little Puppy.......2007-02-03

cute story - we had a dog named Pokey - 15 years old who just died - this was her namesake. The adventures of this puppy are fun to follow - good illustrations, too - a classic!

Biscuit Loves Mother's Day.......2007-06-12

I believe that all the Biscuit books are written very well and I know that my child loves them all. This book shows how the little girl and her dog Biscuit prepare for Mother's Day. It is written very well and I would recommend it to anyone with small children.

Right To the Point.......2005-07-28

Another Biscuit holiday flap book that gets right to the point. This time it is Mother's Day and The-Girl-In-Purple-Sneakers and Biscuit are going to make it a special day for Mom and show how much they care. Gifts are made, Mom seeps in, and a special breakfast in bed are just the beginning of Mom's special day.

The book is packed with the typically adorable artwork that has been a backbone to the Biscuit series. The end flaps reveal what Biscuit is up to in his usual puppyish ways. All in all another good holiday book that is attractive and fun to read.

Puppies!.......2007-10-09

Great book for kids. I already bought two and plan to buy more to share.

Follows Elmo's World format. - mostly.......2007-07-23

Cute short book showing that puppies need food, water, exercise and sleep. It also shows what dogs are feeling sometimes. The book mostly follows the format of the show where Elmo asks Dorothy and the reader questions. But, if you have a big Elmo's World fan then you will also be explaining where Mr. Noodle is after Elmo asks Dorothy a question. I also recommend "Where is Elmo's Blanket? and Elmo's Big Book" They are very interactive lift the flap books.

my16 month old daughter's favorite.......2006-09-23

By far my daughter's favorite book. She is 16 months and this is perfect for her. She does LOVE Elmo and puppies, so this is the perfect combination. The flaps are big, so she can do them herself which is great.

The story isn't really all that great, but she loves the pictures so much that the story doesn't matter.

Of course, it gets a lot of wear and tear just as any lift the flap book does, but I am amazed at how well it has held up.

Toddlers love Elmo and puppies.......2006-05-12

My 21 month old son loves this book. The flaps are nice and big and easy for him to open. It is a fun, short book with vibrant pictures. The book isn't going to last forever because the pages are fairly thin, but it's a fun book for the price.

How could you go wrong with doggies???.......2006-02-24

Great one for a 15 month old, especially if they like dogs, quick read and a "door" to open on each page. It took us a LONG time to get past the first page though since we had to really study the puppies. It was a while before she realized there were doggies on the other pages too since she loves to look at doggies so much.

BIG Thumbs Up!.......2007-03-31

My overly active 20 month old loves this book and will sit still quietly for an entire reading...until we finish at which point she will throw a tantrum because the story is over. The illustrations are beautiful and captivating and the rhythm of the text is delightful. My next purchase will be "Please, Baby, Please." Great work, Lees. I will be keeping my eye out for more from you guys in the future.

Beautiful illustrations........2007-02-15

My two year old cannot get enough of this book, he can hardly wait to get into his pajamas, "Puppy, Puppy", is all he can manage to say. The illustrations are beautiful, rich color, wonderful perspectives, the repeated phrases, which include a lot of "Please", can only be of great benefit.
In addition to being a great artist Kadir Nelson's work appears in some of the very best children's books.

Please Puppy, more.......2007-01-21

The pictures in this book were awesome, but the choice of words was boring and my daughter had trouble saying them. It wasn't even a fun tongue twister.

Great follow-up to the original.......2007-01-15

I very highly recommend this book. My kids (4 and 2) wore out Please Baby Please, so I decided to get this one for them for Christmas. My daughter already has named the two kids in the book after she and her brother. My son turns to each page and says 'peace puppy peace.' We read it pretty much every night before bedtime. All of this and we don't even have a dog. The book is well written, true to life and the illustrations are great.

Excellent book.......2007-01-09

My 15 month old son loves this book and will go over to the shelf, pull it out and hand it to me. The artwork is beautiful. It's a fun and easy read.

Move over Pat the Bunny! Touch and Feel Puppy wants to play, too. In this small, sturdy DK board book, full of irresistible puppy photographs, it's the dogs who do the talking: "I love people tickling my fluffy tummy." (And it is indeed delightfully fluffy.) "I like chewing this fuzzy slipper," says another one, between mouthfuls of a very realistic-feeling blue fuzzy slipper. A puppy's world is full of textures, and young children will adore exploring all of them. (Warning: It's only a matter of time until your kids will want the real thing!) (Baby to preschool)

My 14 month old Loves his puppy book. He likes feeling the different textures and giggles at the puppies!

Sturdy construction even for a teething baby...

Another great book in the Touch and Feel Series-my toddler loves it!.......2006-02-27

My toddler loves any Touch and Feel book-he got his first for Easter last year and I think there's only 4 or 5 we don't have yet. They're sturdy and a great size for toddlers to read, we even throw a couple in the diaper bag when we're out. They're short enough to keep a toddler's attention and filled with bright photographs of familiar things and simple, easy to read concepts. Although as some people have mentioned on this or other books reviewed, they do have some repititous textures and ideas, but I think that most toddlers won't care about that-mine doesn't anyway-he loves them.
He loves "doggies" in general, so really enjoys this one a lot. He really likes the fluffy tummy, silky ear, and leathery noses, but enjoys the whole book. He loves any of them with animals, but this Puppy one is a favorite. I'd recommend this or most any other of the Touch and Feel series, especially if your toddler loves this kind of hands on reading experience like mine does!

My favorite baby gift........2005-01-13

I just love ALL the books in this series. My children just loved them when they were little, and if you've ever had babies you know how valuable a good book is -- you get to sit down for a while! They were fun for me to read and really fun for them to explore. In fact, I've already packed them away in their hope chests for when they grow up and have children.
Now, whenver I know anyone who has had a baby, these books (as many as I can find) are my gift.
Julie Clark Robinson, author of Live in the Moment

Perfect for dog-loving kids.......2005-01-11

I got this book as a hand-me-down from a friend, whose 4-year-old and 2-year-old boys had failed to destroy it. That alone says a lot about the durability of this book, and its tactile pieces. My son, who is 16 months, loves this book. He likes to touch all the different tactile pieces: the furry puppy chest (my son's favorite), the silky dog ears, the fuzzy slipper, the rubber ball (my least favorite), and the leathery puppy noses (my favorite). The pictures are adorable. There aren't many words per page, so the book might lose its appeal for older, more experienced readers. But it's great for younger kids (under 4).

It's a child's wish come true. Mercer Mayer's famous Little Critter character has brought home a puppy. HIs parents will let him keep it if he takes care of the puppy himself. Little Critter agrees. He feels he is doing a good job, but the funny illustrations make it clear that the puppy is a lot of work -- and even a lot of trouble. Does Little Critter think ithe puppy is worth it? Yes, yes, and yes, again.

Customer Reviews:

Just me and my puppy.......2003-10-03

This is a very cool book. I would say that kids ages three to nine should read this book. This book is about a boy whos parents let him get a puppy. It has great pictures that illistrate how the boy takes care of his puppy. This book teaches kids that they should take care of there pets. They should always do things with their animals like walking and feeding it.

Another Little Critter Winner!.......2002-02-08

This story (about a boy who brings a puppy home) is told from the boy's point-of-view, but the illustrations are another matter!

The boy says, "I am teaching my puppy how to heel" and we see the boy wrapped in the leash... the puppy straining to break free and play. The boy says, "...he already knows how to fetch" and we see him throwing a stick. On the following page, an angry lady is chasing the puppy... who is running away from her with a lady's hat in his mouth!

The story ends on a sweet note.

I really love how the Little Critter books focus on events that are real to children, and focus so much on the family in such a positive, light way.

And my children love this book.

Very Cute.......2000-06-01

I thought this book was very cute. My daughter who is 3 loves it. She wanted us to read it every nite for the first week. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with small children. It portrays all the responsibilities that come along with having a puppy in a very amusing way.

I saw this product advertised in a parents magazine and thought it was such a cute idea. My son loves dogs and we love books by Sandra Boynton, so it seemed like a match made in heaven. The book is VERY simple, but it is soft, cute, and fun. There is a button you can press to make the dog bark (which really intrigues my son) and then a big pink tongue for slurping and slopping. It is cute. Not a big, long story...but cute.

John Schindel has truly outdone himself with this poignant and profound literary masterpiece! His text is descriptive, poetic and profound - chronicling the activities of his eventful and engaged K-9 subjects. The photography of Beverly Sparks compliments Schindel's unparalleled words of wit and insight as a welcome added bonus to this must-have page-turner! What a book!!
