Lola and Binky are a little girl and boy of about the same age as the children who will be delighted by the very unusual illustrations in this heavy boardbook. Each illustration features a touch-and-feel press-out piece with textures to touch that match each picture. For instance, when Lola and Binky have fun at the park, their pet dog comes along with them. One of the illustrations shows their friendly dog, and this picture can be removed from the page, then snapped back in again, like a piece in a jigsaw puzzle. Better yet, the dogas back is covered with a patch of real fur-like fabric. When toddlers touch it, theyall be tempted to think theyare touching a real dog. In this book, Lola and Binky feel a soft fabric beach towel, a rough-textured sandcastle, the shiny metallic surface of Momas car, and more. There are four charming titles in the "Lola and Binky" series. Kids will love every one of them
