Touch & Feel Picture Books: Rainbow Rob by Roger Priddy

Rainbow Rob, the classic touch-and-feel book from Priddy Books, has been refreshed for Winter 2022.

This picture book tells the story of Rob the penguin who wants to change himself to be more colorful:

Rob is black and Rob is white.
No color at all, just dark and light.
But Rob does not like black and white,
He'd like to be a brighter sight.

Although he meets lots of different brightly-colored animals, Rob decides that being yourself is the best way to be.

This casebound book is a fantastic gift for young children, with a heartwarming message and great tactiles to explore.

This updated edition has graphic new artwork, quirky typography, and brand-new touch and feels to appeal to a new generation of young children.
