Noelle Carter. Cartwheel Books, $6.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-590-44466-8

Two Lift & Touch books by Noelle Carter teach textures and adjectives. In Where's My Fuzzy Blanket? a cat asks, ""Is my fuzzy blanket in the refrigerator?"" Children open the refrigerator door to find the answer: ""No, it's not. But there is a bunch of grapes in crinkly wrap."" In Where's My Squishy Ball? a search by a cat and mouse team yields a ""ridgy fence"" of corrugated cardboard and ""scratchy sand"" made from sandpaper. ( Dec.)
