These books are a lot of fun for young ones because they are interactive. The baby from the cover comes out of the cover and is attached with a thick ribbon. The child is then able to put the baby into each of the pages as the baby goes about his day. This book is high quality and durable.

I disagree that the book is high quality and durable. The cardboard baby is easily chewed and shredded. It is otherwise a cute book for toddlers, but I do wish there was a simpler font for the text and I don't understand the need for the gender differentiation used in the book. Also, it's tacky to give a book you're selling a high review in order to pitch it. Just saying.
