Reviews

[Sarah · Rating 5 out of 5]

This set of ten tiny board books in a compact case is just the thing for kids up to three years old. The illustrations are interesting. There is a small storyline that is entertaining enough after the thousandth reading. My one year old daughter put one of the books in the dishwasher and a couple of the other books went missing. But after several years I still liked this set enough buy a new one even though the kids had moved on to larger books.
