Pat the Bunny (Touch and Feel Book) Review
This is THE touch and feel book, and has been a classic for decades, and there is a reason for that. My daughter, now 14 months, has loved touching and feeling every page since she was about 6 months old. She always pats the bunny, plays peek a boo with Paul, and puts her finger in Mummy's ring. She never gets bored or restless like she does with other books that are unsuccessfully geared toward the toddler set. It is a simple, soothing little read, with the perfect amount of stimulation, and the perfect length. It took my daughter a while to understand how to "smell the flowers," but now she loves to do that, too. It is a joy to read for both parent and child.
For those who call this book "flimsy," the pages and comb binding have been the format forever. That IS the Pat the Bunny format, and it is perfectly sturdy. Just because it is not big and heavy does not mean it is not sturdy. In fact, many board books are so heavy for my daughter to pick up and hard for little tiny hands to manipulate-- and their pages sometimes stick together. This little lightweight treasure with easy-to-turn pages on a spiral bound make this book sooo easy for little ones hold and turn the pages. My daughter has played with it many, many times, and I do not treat it any differently from her other board books, and it is in perfect condition, just like the rest. I think a toddler would have to go pretty crazy on it to rip it or anything.

Pat the Bunny (Touch and Feel Book) Specifications
"Judy can pat the bunny. Now YOU pat the bunny." Sound familiar?
Pat the Bunny is a part of childhood, as soothing as cocoa and animal crackers. Dorothy Kunhardt's interactive book for babies and toddlers was one of the first of its kind when it was published in 1940, and it has since sold over six million copies. We pat the soft fur of the bunny, play peek-a-boo, look in the mirror, and then do it all over again. (And again and again and again.) After you
Pat the Bunny with your baby, why not
Pat the Cat and
Pat the Dog? These two sequels were written by Edith Kunhardt, the daughter of the author of the original book. Both use the same tried-and-true
Pat the Bunny format: sturdy cardboard pages with eight activities that wee ones can explore, from sniffing some brownies, to squeaking a teddy bear, to unfastening Grandma's tennis shoe. The simple line drawings and pastel colors don't do much for adults, but somehow they are just right for babies. This boxed set is a fine choice for a baby gift or first birthday present, and a lifesaver on a long car trip. (Baby to preschool)
