Never Touch a Shark

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  This is my favorite out of all the “Never Touch A...” series, though I agree with a previous comment that “Never Touch a Sea Creature” would’ve been a more appropriate title. Great variety of textures and bold colors, with rhymes that are cute but not aggresssive or scary (some other rhymes from other books in the series involve being eaten by a monster and the like).

I don't like these "Never Touch a..." books. I don't know if its just me, but it seems weird to say never touch something, but you can dance with them or have food offered by them, but then it encourages them to touch and feel the animal? It doesn't make sense. Also, this book was so annoying that they kept using made up words. Like "buoy band" and "fintastic". This is supposedly teaching young children to read and those aren't real words. I don't know if the other "Never touch a" books have those play on words, but it's just dumb, kids don't understand the reference anyway. Was hoping for more since I can't stand the "That's not my..." books either. Hopefully someone educated can make a touch and feel book that has some substance.

Last page has a typo that had bothered us, we should have returned it. It should say say " So never touch a sea creature who IS in this rhyme" instead it says ISN'T. The ending makes no sense Never Touch A Dinosaur is the better choice!

I bought all of the books in this series because my daughter (who is now 15 months) LOVED the first one I bought. She loved all of them but in many the rhymes are terrible. I would have given them 5 stars except within 2 months the binding on ALL of them had ripped and the books basically fell apart. SO disappointed because these were a favorite!Update- I bought a new copy after the binding broke on the first one because my daughter really liked the book. Within 1 week the binding on the new book is also broken. TERRIBLE quality.

Love the textures and story. It’s pretty cute. Durable too.Update as we have had the whole series now for almost a year. The binding of the book doesn’t hold up amazingly but would still buy them because you can be careful, tape it and/or just buy again.

In general I really love these books. We have the monster book, and the dragon book, and I’ve looked through the dinosaur book and they are all super cute with catchy rhymes. I give them all 5 stars. I gave this one 4 stars because the story is not nearly as cute as the others. We still like it, but if you can only choose one or two I would pick one of the other three that I mentioned over this one.

I love ALL the Never Touch A.. books. My 1 year old twins love all the textures to touch. I will say that the shark one was very slightly dirty with some black marks on the white teeth but easily cleaned and to be expected with storage and shipping. These books are meant for kids pre reading level. Mostly (I feel) for baby to toddler ages when a touch and feel book is most entertaining. With that in mind, I was not bothered in least with the puns and made up words. They are fun and create opportunity for more visuals which again is valuable to the EARLY book lovers.

Here's the story: I read a portion of "never touch a spider" to my kiddo in the grocery store, and loved it. I instantly went to order it and saw upon reading reviews that this one was "better". In my opinionz it is not. The feeling textures are awesome, but the text lacks the charm of the other in it's series. Some pages have very forced rhymes which make it awkward to read. I wish there was something, any tiny thing, that connected the characters to each other, which would not have been hard to do on the last page, but failed.Overall, , this book is very entertaining to babies and toddlers just because of the textures. I am a huge fan of that and the adorable illustrations, but those small factors just add up to the book not being very fun to read aloud.

This one is awesome cause the textures used in this book are completely different than the others. I have the dragon and monster one and although I like those books, I find their textures similar. Unlike this shark one. If you like these books, this one you hav3vto get.

Neat textures, but the fonts are not great. I also don’t like that the entire book is telling your child NOT to do something, and then you expect them to do it to feel the textures.

The silicone textures on each page are great and my LO likes them, but the seahorse page doesn't rhyme and it's incredibly frustrating as the one reading. Lazy editting...you would think the writing in a book with 5 pages would be perfect, but no.

I bought this book for my two year old. Soon after he saw me take it out of the box, he pleaded for it. This book is VERY well produced and designed.
