That's Not My Lion...

This is a great board book and touchy feely book for age 8 to 9 months and up. I would even buy it for as young as 3 months old. It's sturdy, durable, colorful, beautifully illustrated. This book has won the Parent's Guide Award. They learn about the different textures and love looking at the pictures. A plus to this book is that there is a mouse hidden in the pages that they can look for. It gives them great satisfaction when they see it. It's a great reading readiness book and talk about book. We love it.

My daughter has loved this book (and several others in the series) since she was about 6 months old. She's getting less interested now at 13-months, but it's still a favorite.

We got my daughter one of these books (the Lion one), and she loved it so much that I went back to the book store and got the two others in the series they had (doll and dinosaur). Months later these are still her favorite books (she is now 10 months old). I am buying the rest of the set now. These books will be what I get for baby gifts from now on.

Our son got this book from some of our UK friends when he was about 2 months old. He's 6 months old now and this is his favorite! He squeals and gets very excited when we pull it out to read it each day. We recently got the "That's Not My Dinosaur" title for him as well...he doesn't like it as much yet, but he is used to us reading "lion" to him. High praises to Fiona Watt and Rachel Wells for creating such a great book! We will definitely get this book for any friends who have babies on the way!

I purchased this and two other "That's Not My..." board books in Australia recently for my 1 year old. These books were well worth the price as they quickly became his favorite night time reading. He can easily turn the pages and touch and feel the lion's ears, tail or teeth. He especially enjoys scratching the lions paws. The "That's not my lion ..." line is just the level of repetition that he requires. I would definitely recommend these books and plan to purchase the rest of the series.
