Rough Road - Textured Soft Shapes

Bright yellow trucks ride over a variety of rough roads in this textured soft-foam book. Very young readers pop out the nontoxic pieces to find out what kind of terrain each truck will encounter: "The bulldozer rides on a... ridgy road." Rough, ridgy, rocky, rippled--who can resist touching these bumpy textures? The trucks float--in fact, so does the entire book!--so they're perfect for bathtime, not to mention bed, travel, or any old time! Also check out High Tide, Dinos!, Whose Back Is Bumpy?, or any of the other textured titles in this terrific follow-up series to Soft Shapes. (Ages 1 to 4) --Emilie Coulter
