Fun sound board book of ten animals and their babies. I love the illustrations. Hopefully the battery will last a long time.

Thank God for this book! There have been so many times where my baby daughter has been upset and I’ve distracted her with this book! “Monkey baby - hoo hoo ha ha!”

A great one for teaching little ones what the name of baby animals are called, with buttons to press to hear the noises that they make.

Baby animals and their sounds. There are buttons in the book, and when are pressed, you can hear the sound of a given animal, for example a fox. Great entertainment for kids.

💭 Thoughts: This interactive sound book introduces baby animals through simple rhymes. The illustrations are vibrant and engaging. My son loved pressing the buttons to hear each animal and asked for rereads. The text is short and perfect for toddlers. The sounds are a little loud. I recommend it for storytime with curious little animal lovers.

This is really more of a toy than a book. It has buttons on the side that play animal sounds, and it has lift-the-flap pictures as well. My ten month-old seemed pretty pleased with this on a recent road trip. I would hear elephant sounds from the back seat every couple of minutes. :-) The text is boring, though, and there's really not much of a story.

After two or three hours of reading books to the delightful little people known as my children, I'm out of breath (also because I've likely been at work all day, and struggled to get home in traffic). Then, along comes this book. It's got nifty Eric Carle pictures, and all you have to do is press buttons and the book reads itself. Basically, this is indispensable, until the batteries run out.
