This reminds me of one of Sammy's (my son's) first favorite books was called Dinos. It was on textured foam pages. There was a small amount of text. And the thing that intrigued him the most was that the dinosaurs could come out of their shapes (rather like a 1-piece puzzle on each page!) He could play with (and chew on) the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs were all different textures and colors. This was highly desirable for a 1-year old! Here's a picture of it: http://www.amazon.com/Textured-Soft-Shapes-AnnMarie-McLaughlin/dp/B00A16ZJQS
So don't forget to include: On soft textured foam pages!
