The "Never Touch a" book series by Rosie Greening and Stuart Lynch is so much fun. There are 32 books in the line-up, and these ones are among our favorites.
These touch-and-feel books are vibrant and whimsical. The front cover of each story incorporates soft, silicone patterns into the design, making them eye-catching and enticing to grab at and play with, so they get picked up and investigated often.
Never Touch a Dragon! features five feisty dragons and encourages readers to avoid them with silly tactics should they encounter any of them in their travels.

These books keep our twins entertained with their exuberantly colorful pages and mesmerizing, tactile textures. They love exploring the different patterns on each page, and the size and weight of the books make for easy handling by little hands.
The thick board pages are durable and easy to flip, and the sensory experience encourages your babies to continue developing their fine motor skills as they explore and work their way through the story.
The 10-page publications are quick enough to read through before your babies or toddlers lose interest but are exciting enough that they don't get bored when you get to the last page and then they immediately want you to go back and start reading it again from the beginning.
Never Touch a Dinosaur! features four different dinosaurs with varying silicone patterns and colors worked into the design and artwork of each page.

The lines in each tale have a steady, flowing rhythm and the concepts allow you to reconnect with your inner child as you read to your own children, being silly and having fun as you work your way through the pages.
The text, itself, has been turned into a work of art, featuring fanciful fonts with varying weights and a palette of energetic colors that packs a playful punch to the senses. The array of elements work together to engage your babies' interest while you regale them with the rhyming story.
We have a blast while reading any of the "Never Touch a" books, and both twins want to be touching and feeling the pages at the same time. Sometimes, they want to go back or forth in the layout and will get irked if their sibling is trying to flip ahead while they're trying to go back, so making sure that each of your kids has their own story to hold, explore, and flip through is handy.
Never Touch a Porcupine! has readers encounter a handful of forest fauna, including a prickly porcupine, and tells them what to do in each silly scenario.
