Review quote
"Bright, attention-grabbing, and, in some cases, enlarged photographs of hard candies, duck slippers, stone walls, and other common objects give viewers the impression that they can reach out and touch them. That's exactly the point in this first Jane Brocket's Clever Concepts book, which introduces texture to young children. It not only lets readers imagine what a woolly blanket or cactus plant might feel like but offers a host of adjectives, highlighted in color, to describe their textures. In a look at a variety of squash, for example, Brocket suggests that they can be 'plain and smooth, ' 'knobbly and warty, ' or 'curvy and lumpy.' Double-page spreads also link similar textures, such as 'slippy and slidy' tomatoes in olive oil and slimy egg yolks. The author even reminds children--with images of mud oozing between toes and a 'firm and crunchy' apple--that texture is not always experienced with one's hands and fingers. A final spread with more inviting photographs asks readers to describe the textures around them. Clever, indeed." --Booklist
