The New York Times considered it the first interactive books ever written. It was written and illustrated by author Dorothy Kunhardt, who wrote Pat the Bunny for her three-year-old daughter Edith, who went on to become a children's writer herself. Rather than follow a linear narrative, the book invites the reader to engage in tactile activities, such as patting the fake fur of a rabbit, feeling sandpaper that stands for "Daddy's scratchy face," trying on "Mummy's ring," reading a book within a book, playing peekaboo with a cloth, and gazing into a mirror. Since its publication in 1940, it has been a perennial best-seller in the United States.
Pat the Bunny is the first "touch and feel" interactive children's book, written and illustrated by Dorothy Kunhardt.
