An interactive book about identity and illustration, Furry Friends is a board book worth sharing with your child. Bright colors and blocky shapes make for a visually pleasing layout. The book's simple text elicits good conversation between child and parent, or could be bypassed for more basic enjoyment of the subject matter. While young children can interact with the cutouts and colors, older children will have fun identifying the differences between facial features on animals. This would be show more especially recommended for animal lovers, or children who would enjoy the practice of identifying species or parts of the face. The variety of settings pictured around the animals and the differences between domesticated and wild animals are also rich topics for parent-child conversations. This book would be best for children under 3. show less

Bold and simple. Would be a good book for infants to play and explore with without needing a parent. Not and overly thrilling read for parents. The repeat of the same face over and over bothers me... It just seems the design could have been changed to make them more interesting... I know small children like repetition.

My 14 month old loved this book! As well as the others by SAMi
