I loved the story and the tactile features are wonderful. The book is chewable for my teething infant and machine washable for a mom-on-the-go! This is a great book!

This is a fun activity book, but I wish that it had a couple more pages of activities. I would recommend this book to a friend.

Bought this for my 3 month old and she loves it. Even though she's too young to understand all the activities in the book, she enjoys looking at the bright colors and shapes. Plus, since it's all cloth, she can grab the pages and put them in her mouth. I can tell she will get several more months of enjoyment out of this book.

We had purchased these same cloth books for our 1 year-old Grandson. He loves them and likes to carry them around. We did notice they are very well-made and have many tactile things for little fingers to touch. This time we ordered the same two books for our 1 year-old Granddaughter, she likes to carry them around too, but she is too active to sit down and look at them with her parent. She likes to look at them by herself.
I hope this is helpful.

Disappointed & not what I was expecting

I was disappointed in this Dino Adventures book. It doesn't hold my 9 month old's attention. Trying to get him to see himself in the mirror while looking at each page does not capture his attention. Not worth the money in my opinion. I was looking for a soft activity book that would be really stimulating to the 5 senses & this was not it.

Finding the right sensory book for your child takes courage, skill, and maybe even a second try! As was the case in this timely rescue, we're valiant in providing alternative ideas, an easy return or a quick exchange if needed. Please visit the Returns & Exchanges center for details.)

I bought this book as a birthday gift for my one year old granddaughter and she loves it. She is facinated by the different textures and loves the crinkle noise on some of the pages. It is an easy book for her to 'read' by herself or with help. Would suggest to friends.

My 6 month old loves this book. The first time we read it, she started grabbing at the bunny and the leaf. The Manhattan Toy company seems to make pretty good stuff, which makes the higher price tag worth it for the most part.

I was disappointed with the book as it smelled musty. hence we have not let baby play with it. We are going to toss it in washer and hope it survives.

Washing before play not required! We contacted our customer to assist. On the rare occasion a Fat Brain Toy appears defective- it's easy to scrub up the situation fast! Please visit Returns & Exchanges center for details.

Staple baby/toddler toy

This is a bright and colorful book. I bought this for my baby's first birthday, she is our third so we already have a lot of similar products. I was a little disappointed that it's mostly a lift the flaps thing, but it's cute and different and lots of sensory opportunities. And I am relieved it doesn't have lots of parts to drop or lose as some other books like this have.

I purchased this item for my one year old niece. She loves finding all the hidden elements; pulling on the flaps; turning the wheel; looking under the crunchy leaf, etc... It's also so soft that when she needs to cuddle, she yanks it up to her faces and snuggles right into it. I purchased a similar book for my nephew on his 1st birthday, and perhaps there is no connection, but at 2 1/2, he doesn't go anywhere without his favorite books, and he already can identify the letters in them!

I haven't had a chance to give the two books I bought to my 5 month old grandson yet but I have played with them. They are both very creative and seem to be very sturdy. The bright colors and mirrors are my favorite part. I know he is going to enjoy them and I think my daughter will be pleased that I found such delightful toys!

The only reason it is played with once in awhile is because we are very busy and he has lots of toys. My grandson is very active. I can give him his activity book in the car and he will play with it for awhile. This is very good because he's always wanting something different to play with. The book is awesome. I play with the bumble bee with him and the rabbit. He loves it.

This is really a cute book that baby will enjoy manipulating, chewing, and playing with. The quality is good. There are the right number of pages for a baby. I wish the illustrations were a little more distinct. Some of the illustrations are of an item outlined on a solid blue page. These are harder for the baby to distinguish the pictures. Overall, it is a good deal.

This book is wonderful for both the young and the older toddler. My son, at almost 2, loves placing the bone in all the interactive parts of the book. The soft fabric design and colorful pictures made it great for our 9 month old friend to hold, crinkle, and play with. I would recommend this to anyone!

This little book gives so many oppportunities for interaction with my grandchild. Being a retired first grade teacher, I love the language opportunities it provides. It as an exteneded use as well because we cut the bone off the string and can hide it lots of places: in my hand, behind my neck etc. It also teaches to put things back where they belong because we always put the bone back under the doggies mouth (velcro) for safe keeping for the next time.

I bought the Buzzing Through activity book for my one year old daughter. It's very cute, and easy for her to use. The bee's string is long enough to stretch through each pass-through window of the book, and there are interactive characters on each page. She especially loves the little worm that stretches out of the ground. She will probably outgrow this book in a few months, and is likely more appropriate for 6-12 month olds, but she will enjoy it for a little while. Definitely a great interactive book for infants!

The camera was a little difficult for the parents to get to work. I ended up calling the support line. They had me working in less than 10 minutes. Our grandson used it for a while, but it was a birthday present which had to compete with the other gifts.
I think the product will be used much more long term.

I thought this book would have many different attached parts for baby play. However, the attachments are few and not varied. My 8-month-old granddaughter tired of it very quickly.
 |

We assisted our customer promptly. Babies at 8 months typically have very short attention spans, though if your child just never seems interested in the Activity Book - consider selecting another toy. Visit the Returns & Exchanges Center for quick assistance.

This was for a 16 month old child; she plays with it frequently; I think it will help her in gaining knowledge about books, turning of pages, making the discoveries behind lifting "flaps". This will help in her progression, she is a very bight child, this is her very own first book, and pride of possession is shown. (She does enjoy playing with her 6 year old sister on her new stove, so that takes her away from this at times) Variety, though, ha!!

My grandson is only 3 months and just starting to grab things but will pay attention to a book being read to him if it's interesting.
This book is great because it's cloth, he can grab onto the different 3-D items which he is just learning to do. The colors and designs hold his attention. My daughter was also impressed by it.

This book was bigger than I expected and very good quality. It was a gift for my one year old grandson and he loves books. He loves to be read to and likes to touch the book as you're reading to him. This book has a crinkle sound on some of the pages and a few different textures that will certainly hold his interest.
