Titles in This Set:
That's Not My Dolly
That's Not My Baby
That's Not My Pony

Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Board book

Overview:
This charming trio brings Usborne’s beloved touch-and-feel storytelling straight to little hands. That's Not My Dolly, That's Not My Baby, and That's Not My Pony are sturdy board books designed for babies and toddlers to explore through sight, sound, and especially touch. Each title uses bright, high-contrast illustrations and a simple, repetitive rhythm that invites participation, turning reading time into a playful sensory adventure. On every page, a small white mouse appears, inviting little readers to anticipate what comes next and to search for familiar details. The star of each book is a tactile patch that children can feel—soft fur, glossy fabric, or a ribbed texture—creating important first sensory experiences while building early language skills. Durable and easy to grasp, these books withstand enthusiastic handling, teething, and curious exploration. This set is the perfect starter library for babies and toddlers, a reliable gift for new parents, and a comforting bedtime ritual that grows with your child’s curiosity.

What Makes This Collection Special:
What ties these three titles together is more than just the shared format and mouse motif. The That’s Not My… touch-and-feel series offers a consistent, predictable reading experience that supports early literacy while celebrating sensory discovery. Parents can build confident vocabulary as children touch each textured patch and name what they feel—soft, bumpy, silky, or fuzzy—while the bright illustrations reinforce word-picture connections. The Dolly, Baby, and Pony themes let little ones explore familiar companions through a gentle, reassuring narrative voice, turning each book into a mini ritual. Together, they form a cohesive reading journey that’s easy to gift, neatly compact for travel, and incredibly satisfying to collect for curious little readers who love to discover new textures and characters with every turn of the page.

Books Included in This Collection:
That's Not My Dolly
This first title in the set invites babies to meet a cherished doll through a lively, tactile exploration. The illustrated scenes pulse with colour and friendly animals, while texture patches encourage hands-on discovery. The simple refrain supports emerging speech as little ones imitate sounds and words, and the mouse on every page provides a playful search-and-find element that sustains attention. The trust we place in Usborne’s durable board format shines here, making this book a reliable companion for teething toddlers who love to cuddle and explore. A gentle doorway into sensory play and early storytelling, it’s ideal for shared reading and independent fondling alike.

That's Not My Baby
In this gentle entry, the focus shifts to a tiny, affectionate baby figure set against bold, vivid illustration. The tactile patches invite exploration of textures that help develop tactile discrimination, while the simple, repetitive text reinforces early word learning and predictability. The white mouse recurs as a friendly guide, encouraging page-by-page anticipation. This title—like its siblings in the set—offers a secure, comforting rhythm for nap times and bedtime routines, turning reading into a soothing sensory experience. It’s a perfect first book for infants beginning to vocalize new words and adults seeking a calm, engaging read-aloud that still feels lively and interactive.

That's Not My Pony
This final volume shifts to a pony friend, maintaining the same bright artwork and touch-and-feel features that define the series. The textures invite little fingers to explore varied surfaces while vocabulary grows as caregivers describe colours, textures, and actions. The recurring mouse continues to serve as a delightful page companion, inviting children to spot familiar detail with each page turn. As with the other two titles, the board-book construction stands up to enthusiastic handling, saliva, and travel. It’s a dependable, high-pleasure finish to a trio that builds a tactile reading habit—perfect for families looking to enrich early sensory development with a consistent, trusted format.

Who This Set Is Perfect For:

Parents and caregivers seeking reliable, low-prep read-aloud experiences will value the predictable structure and durable build. For early readers, this set offers a gentle bridge to independent exploration, while gift buyers will appreciate the cohesive, collectible presentation that looks appealing on a bookshelf or display.
