Baby Touch and Feel Merry Christmas — DK Publishing

With touch and feel patches and sparkly areas to explore, this baby Christmas book makes a wonderful little stocking-stuffer.

Just right for sharing with babies and toddlers, inside you find jolly Christmas characters and fun festive things, including a toy snowman with a bumpy carrot nose, a toy elf with a green felt hat, a sparkly Christmas tree, a toy reindeer with bumpy antlers, a velvety Christmas sack filled with presents, and Santa with a soft white beard. Every page has texture or an eye-catching shiny area to expand a baby's senses.

Filled with early learning, this book has a simple design (with one main picture per page) that's easy for very young children to follow. There are clear, real-life photos babies and toddlers can focus on, and which help their identification skills, large word labels that build vocabulary and picture-and-word association (helpful for early reading), plus short, read-aloud text with each picture that's great for encouraging little ones to talk, promoting language development.

This small baby board book is a good size for little hands to hold. Babies and toddlers will love turning the tough pages themselves, which develops their fine motor skills.

Part of DK's popular Baby Touch and Feel series, this sparkly Christmas baby book with its appealing puppy jacket makes a perfect Christmas gift.
