Book description

A touchy-feely board book with simple, repetitive text, tactile patches and bold illustrations suitable for babies and toddlers. A little white mouse appears on every page, for children to spot.

Why read it?

1 author picked That's not my puppy... as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Look, the plot is thin: a mouse needs to find its puppy and has to dismiss several wrong dogs before finding the right one.

But each dog has a fun tactile experience (a fluffy tail, bumpy paws, a squashy nose), and the pictures are big and colorful. It was one of the first books my kid could recognize by name, and we’re still reading it months later.
