I have this book on hand. The ISBN is 9781452173924, which isn't on Goodreads, but is most likely this edition, as it's published 2019:

TouchWords is not part of the title. The book is simply called "Animals," and TouchWords is a loose series of books where the words are elevated off the page so that children can trace the letters with their fingers, which probably doesn't qualify as a series on Goodreads. The series is also sometimes called TouchThinkLearn, as in this book:

Rilla Alexander is actually the illustrator. The book was published by Handprint Books, an imprint of Chronicle Books, but the text is copyright to Chronicle Books LLC. In a situation like this, is any author added other than the illustrator? And if so, is it Handprint Books, or Chronicle Books?

It is marked as NOT A BOOK: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
(found through a Google search for the isbn and Goodreads.com)

Lieke | 4925 comments Thanks Arenda, didn't think of that.
Should it be NOT A BOOK? It is a board book...

I think it may have been NAB'd as part of a large batch from the same publisher. This one seems to have text content.

Arenda | 26447 comments I hadn't looked into it, only located the GR book page. Looking at the Amazon page, which has pages from the inside, I see no reason this should be marked as NAB.


message 12: by Neesie (new)

Neesie | 889 comments It's a real book, with words on the pages similar to other board books for the same age.
