Learning about the Five Senses is an essential part of each preschooler’s experience! Add these titles to your library list and enjoy them when you’re teaching about the sense of touch.

Sense of Touch Books

Don’t Touch This Book by Bill Cotter

This adorable interactive book will have students roaring like dinosaurs, flapping like birds, and pretending to make rainbows with their fingers. The best part is that this is now a whole series of interactive books!

Lucy’s Picture by Nicola Moon

Lucy’s class is making pictures, and Lucy wants to make one for her grandfather.  She goes about it in an entirely different way than the rest of her class, however, and uses different textures to make a picture her blind grandfather can feel.

Extending the Learning: Set out a variety of materials so students can make their very own touchable picture!

Touch and Feel Pets by DK Publishing

While this might seem like a book for babies, students will love exploring the simple text and feel the different textures independently.

Never Touch a Porcupine! by Make Believe Ideas

Unlike many other “Touch & Feel” books that use fur and soft material, the pages of this adorable book have different rubber textures. Touching these pages is a very different and exciting tactile experience for young learners.
