Do you like peas and carrots? Discover a world of things to like in touch-and-feel board books.

Can you spot the triangle in the sailboat, or the rectangle in the robot? Feel the texture and explore the pictures to learn all about shapes in I Like Toys. Then look at and touch different vegetables, from the big and small pumpkins to the tall and short corn, as you find out about opposites. Textures perfectly complement the collage pictures, while the simple text encourages children to learn basic concepts and investigate what they like about the world around them.


I Like Vegetables: Petit Collage Reviews


  • Suzanne

    Nice book! So vivid and full of good shapes and textures for little ones! It's going to make a fantastic quilt!

  • Danica Midlil

    This was the first touch and feel book that Ben reached out to explore without Mommy guiding his hand! Very exciting!

  • Beyondthebookends

    Any book that introduces children to healthy foods from an early age is OK in my book. Add in the lessons about colors in I like Fruit and also the lesson of opposites in I Like Vegetables and you have two winners. Oh! And did I mention these are textured and perfect for baby to explore with their fingers too?

    Cute! I think I liked the fruit version better, but this was pretty good. I appreciated the use of opposites throughout the book, and the illustrations were colorful and fun. No actual story, but that's okay. It does what it sets out to do.

  • J

    I read this with both older and younger kids. One older kid worked on her reading with it with me. The fact that you can feel the different textures included in the vegetables is a nice touch.

    Great textures, e is bored because there aren't people in it.

  • The Library Lady

    A lot of board books these days are aimed more at parents than toddlers, or are small hardbound versions of books toddlers really aren't ready for. This one, however, is truly a toddler book in the best sense of the term.
    The colors are bold and the shapes strong and pleasing. There are enough details to talk about, but not so much that a small child's eye doesn't know where to look. And the textures are used beautifully. A terrific example of what a board book should be, and too often, isn't.

    Nice bright colors. One page has a pair of descriptive words (in/out, big/little, etc), the other has a vegetable name and a touch and feel spot on the vegetable. K read it to E and invited her to touch the spots and E did! Good sizing of elements to appeal to little readers.

  • Janelle

    So cute - great vivid colors celebrate some favorites from the vegetable word. I like the patterns and the touch and feel textures. I also like that they are accompanied by some basic opposites words.

    When I grow up I want to be able to do paper collage like Lorena Siminovich.

    Love how she snuck in some opposites to this little word book: peas are outside and inside, corn is tall and short.

  • Hope

    Although there are words in this book, they are simple, consisting of opposites. The collage of the fruit is very appealing to the eyes and this book is great for emergent readers.

  • jacky

    Whereas I Like Fruit explores colors, this book explores opposites while presenting each vegetable with a touch and feel patch. There is a lot presented in such a simple book.

  • Jen Dent

    Baby A flips out over this one. Vibrant colors, shapes, & textured surfaces.

  • Avonlea Rose

    loved this little book! fun textures, good introduction to opposites, and bright pretty pictures.

  • Cathy | A Case Full of Books

    This book is more about opposites than "liking vegetables."

  • Lisa

    Gabes not digging the touch and feel yet, but I liked this one. It'll be back.
