In the Forest is a good educational book for a wide age span of children. In addition to tactile stimulation, one can learn about animals, colors, numbers and counting, and seek and find. My 15-month-old daughter has been enjoying this book since age 6 months, developing from learning to touch and feel, to finding hidden creatures, and learning animal names and sounds. She now loves to lift the flaps, too. I highly recommend this book for children of any age. While the written content of the book is geared more towards a pre-school age, there are definitely things for younger children to learn and enjoy as well.
