Our 10 month old LOVES this book (and many others in the series) He's had them since he was 6 months old and the touch books are his favorites. It's great to have books that hold his interest. When we first bought the book we would show him the part to touch and now as soon as you turn each page he'll reach for the part to touch. He's now going to the book case on his own and pulling out the books to play with. He always ends up with the touch books. The book is very sturdy and chunky which is great since he also like the put everything in his mouth. This is a great addition to a baby library.

We got this book for my son when he was 16months, after having "Este no es mi conejito" for 2months, to show him that inanimate objects also have textures that can be different from animal textures, and he has thoroughly enjoyed both books from day one! The boardbook pages are EXTRA thick, making it very VERy durable! The textures and the predictability immediately engage the child on each page. As soon as i turn the page he runs his fingers over the texture and then off the other end, like i would do with his fingers when we originally read the book (so he could feel the difference of the book page to the texture). My husband reads with added inflection and adds the question on each page "?Es este tu tractor?" before reading the text "Noooooooooo, este no es mi tractor, tiene....." and my son laughs with anticipation of the exaggerated "Noooooooo" of the text. Great book that engages the toddler quickly, and with its predictability will have them reading/babbling the text to themselves sooner than you think!
