Attention all superheroes! Here's a new touch-and-feel book from Karen Katz!
The toddler boys in this touch-and-feel board book include a superhero in a sleek cape, an astronaut in a shiny spacesuit, a brave knight with a shimmery shield, and more. Readers will love looking at the eye-catching playful pictures, touching the shiny cloth embedded into every spread, and acting like superheroes themselves! It's the perfect companion book to Twinkle Toes, Karen Katz's popular novelty book for little girls.
Karen Katz lives in New York, New York.
Perhaps the secret to Katz's success (besides the undeniable appeal of her signature round-headed babies!) can be summed up in this quote taken directly from the author/artist's website: "When an idea for a story pops into my head, I ask these questions: Will a child want to read this book? Will parents want to read this book with their children? Will this book make a child laugh? Will this book make a parent and child feel something? Is there something visual here that will hold a child's interest? Will a child see something in a different way after reading this book? If the answer to any of those questions is 'yes,' then I know I'm on the right track."
Picture books usually have more words in them but they tell more of a narrative story. Board books are usually simpler. They are generally 6 spreads and are about one concept. When I create a board book, I try to make something that is very interactive for the baby, with flaps and pull tabs and lots of surprises. Board books are a perfect size for a baby's hand to hold and touch. Babies can have an experience all by them selves with a good board book and can also have a good lap-time experience with a mommy or daddy or caregiver. Picture books take a little more care since the pages can rip. With a board book, you can throw it in a stroller, chew on the corners and even wipe off mashed peas.
Katz has received numerous awards for her work, including:

Its a short, simple, and sweet book. My two year old son loves it.

It's an OK book. Not much to feel; Mostly silky. It doesn't hold my children's interest (1 yr and 3 yrs). They love many of their Karen Katz books, so I wouldn't recommend this one over the others.
