Overview
That's Not My Bat... is the Halloween edition of Usborne's bestselling touchy-feely series, marking 20 years of That's Not My. Designed for babies and toddlers, this sensory board book invites little ones to explore textures on every page as they search for the real bat among friendly imposters. With bright illustrations, purple holographic page edges and a gentle, non-scary Halloween theme, it's an ideal first Halloween book or gift for the youngest readers.

About the Book
Join the search for the real bat in this tactile addition to the phenomenally popular That's Not My series, written by Fiona Watt and illustrated by Rachel Wells. On every spread, little readers meet a bat with a distinctive texture to touch - hairy ears, fluffy tummies, shiny eyes and more - while a simple repeated refrain builds anticipation until the final page reveals the "just right" bat. Marking the 20th anniversary of the series, this Halloween instalment adds a playful seasonal twist with purple holographic foiling along the page edges. The chunky board book format is designed for tiny hands, with durable pages that stand up to repeated exploration. Alongside the tactile patches, bold, high-contrast artwork and a hidden white mouse to spot on every page help develop babies' visual tracking and early observational skills. As with every book in the range, the combination of touch, sight, and simple repetitive language is designed to support sensory development, vocabulary building, and parent-child bonding through shared reading. It's a firm favourite with parents, health visitors, and early years educators, and makes a lovely seasonal alternative to the classic That's Not My titles.
