Do Touch! I Dare You! by Nicole Maubert

LOOK AT THIS HAIRY, SCARY SPIDER!

See me? FEEL me? Double-dog dare you to!

Who is brave enough to touch a large, hairy spider, hanging from his web?

How DOES it feel? (Fluffy and fuzzy, actually.)

Okay. That wasn't so bad. Now I dare you to touch the sticky, pink tongue of a slinky snake.

OOOH! It IS sticky! Maybe even YUCKY!

Would you tickle a monster's scaly belly?

Not so bad! (A bit like sandpaper, really.)

How about lifting the covers and see what kind of critter is hiding under that bed?

I Dare You! (Chronicle Books) by Nicole Maubert tests the daring of youngsters in her Touch & Feel book, which delivers some pretty memorable tactile experiences. The best one is a a pop-up double-page spread with a wolfish creature with a toothy snout which, when the book is partly opened and closed, is capable of giving a reader's finger a tangible cardboard chomp. Maubert's supposedly scary critters are quite inventive and her feely surfaces do not disappoint, but she saves her last surprise for a double-page spread which offers, she says, the last big scary dare--three mirrors for the young reader to see how TRULY scary he or she can be.

DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU!

This popular "toy and movable book" offers a good lead-in to the stuff of the scary season ahead of us, and the book itself makes a great treat alternative for the treat bucket.

  • Wow, Nicole Maubert's "Do Touch! I Dare You!" is a captivating piece of art that truly beckons the senses. The tactile experience it offers is akin to the precision of Invisalign Dubai —subtle yet transformative. Maubert's ability to engage our sense of touch in this digital age is commendable. Her work challenges us to break barriers and explore the world through a different lens, much like Invisalign reshapes smiles discreetly. It's a reminder of the power of sensory exploration in our increasingly virtual world.
