Tails

by Matthew Van Fleet

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt | September 3, 2003 | Trade Paperback

Based on 40 ratings | Rate this | 5 reviews
Tails are irresistible to toddlers, and in Matthew Van Fleet's sturdy touch-and-feel board book, preschool-age pokers and prodders can finally tug to their heart's content. Engaging, cartoonish animals from tigers to pangolins romp across the pages as the rhyming text bounces along: "Tails fluffy, / Tails stringy, / Scaled tails strong and-clingy!" Pull tabs, lift-able flaps, tufts of fur, and even a scratch-and-sniff skunk tail provide plenty of tactile surprises. Along the way, youngsters will learn about counting, opposites, and how animals use their tails. A tried and true tail-wagger!

    Creative
    I bought this as a birthday gift for a one year old and she picked it up and touched it right away. Each page has something touchable, moveable or even sniffable (stinky skunk tail), which she really enjoyed. She didn't smell the tail yet, but I know as she grows she'll think it's funny (a tiny scratch and sniff that smells like rotten eggs). There is a small counting exercise at the back too. A durable book; teacher approved!

    Everyone of my children have LOVED this book...
    It's made of very sturdy cardboard and the peek a boo animals and huge fold out whale at the end always make our guys giggle...it's also a great counting book!

    Great Book
    We bought this book for our now 5 year old son a few months after he was born. It quickly became a favourite for him with all the interaction available. It is one of my husband and my favourites as well. He still pulls it off the shelf today and I recently gave this book to a good friend who is going to become a mother soon.

    Great
    This is one of my daughters favorites. It says for 2-4 year olds but my 10 month old can't get enough of this book. Great pictures for kids and parents alike.
