Not only are these books great from a child development perspective but they are also a firm favourite with children under three for independent play as they can explore the textures and enjoy the bright colours on their own. Written by author Fiona Watt and illustrated by Rachel Wells, these books are perfect for babies and toddlers with their touch-and-feel elements to explore on each page. The series was designed to foster both sensory awareness and language development, and the way the books are written also helps very young children start to think about differences and similarities. 'Alfie the Holiday Cat' is her fourth book.The multi-award winning “That’s Not My” series are brightly illustrated board books with a simple, repetitive text. Rachel is delighted to have been able to combine her two main passions at last.

Rachel grew up in Devon but lived in London in her twenties working in marketing and living in a tiny flat with an elderly rescued cat, Albert. She lives in Devon with her family and her pets and believes in the magic of animals.
