The Never Touch series by Rosie Greening is a delightful collection of tactile board books designed to captivate babies and toddlers. Each book combines bouncy rhymes with bold, silly illustrations and unique silicone textures, inviting little ones to engage their senses as they explore. The recurring theme—playfully warning children to "never touch" various creatures—adds a humorous twist that keeps young readers entertained.
Ideal for children aged 6 months and up, these books support early development by encouraging sensory play, fine motor skills, and language acquisition. The repetitive, rhyming text is perfect for read-aloud sessions, making them a favourite among parents, teachers, and children alike.
Stuart Lynch's illustrations are central to the series' charm. His use of vibrant colours and expressive characters brings each animal to life, creating an engaging visual experience that complements the tactile elements. Whether it's a dinosaur, shark, or hedgehog, each creature is depicted with a friendly, humorous flair that resonates with young readers.Amazon UK+11AbeBooks UK+11booknook.store+11
