That's not my hamster...
Summary
That's not my...
That's not my hamster...
- Little hands won’t be able to resist the touchy-feely patches in this delightful board book as they meet lots of different hamsters.
- Children will love turning the colourful pages and joining in the simple, repetitive text as they encounter soft paws, squashy cheeks and a furry tummy.
- Specially designed to help develop sensory and language awareness in babies and toddlers.
- Don’t forget to spot the mouse on every page!
“Helps very young children develop language and sensory skills.”
Sheffield City Council 'Recommended Reads for Babies and Toddlers

Awards
Practical Pre-School Silver Award 2009
The award is decided by Practical Pre-School product testers, who said of "That's not my puppy": "This book had immediate appeal for all the children. It is great for a wide age range as the babies enjoy the pictures and textures and the older children enjoy reading the words themselves and developing their vocabulary. It was also good for raising awareness of differences and similarities. It retained appeal for the children throughout the testing period."
Prima Baby Reader Awards "Best Buy" 2004 and 2006
Usborne That's not my... Touchy-feely books were voted Best Buy in the Toddler Book Category of the Prima Baby Reader Awards in 2004 and 2006.
Press & Blog Reviews
A simple idea that has stretched to all kinds of themes. Chunky boardbooks with textured pages take a child through a simple narrative: “That's not my dinosaur/teddy/dolly/tractor”. And on each page there's a reason why not - like bumpy skin, shiny hair ties, squashy wheels, until eventually we arrive at the right item. As well as the touchy-feely experience, the basic vocabulary repetition is a valuable - and enjoyable - early learning tool.

With everything from 'angel' to 'truck', there's sure to be a subject to fascinate your little one from this touchy-feely range. With myriad textures, it's a great concept, and a really lovely presentation.

A valuable and enjoyable learning tool.

The brilliantly simple concept is a winner with very young children, trusted by parents and still one of the best baby series on the market.

Mel Harris of Waterstone’s
[Usborne's] excellent That's not my... series of baby books- with their touchy-feely segments- have kept baby amused for hours as he explores new tactile sensations... There are six examples in each book and there are many, many books. That's not my Pirate, That's not my Penguin, That's not my Robot... the list is endless.
Bishop’s Stortford Observer
Almost everyone with kids of a certain age is familiar with the That’s not my... range of children’s books – memorable, instantly recognisable and, most important of all, great fun for little ones. They have become a classic series and definitely one of our favourites.
