What is The That's Not My... series by Fiona Watt about?

Created by Fiona Watt and first published in 1999, That's Not My... is a long-running series of sensory board books for babies and toddlers. Each title follows a simple search: readers explore a succession of animals, objects or themes, touching different textures while repeating the reassuring refrain, “That’s not my...” before finding the right one. The series has expanded from familiar creatures and toys to vehicles, seasonal subjects and imaginative characters, offering gentle progression through increasingly varied vocabulary and experiences. It may appeal especially to children who enjoy repetition, bold illustrations and hands-on discovery. There are no significant content warnings, though adult supervision is sensible for babies exploring textured pages.
