Reviews

[Shauna Ludlow Smith · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good board book with finger groves, flaps and sliding parts for older toddlers who won’t rip books. Very short.

[Tennille Stewart · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute book for toddlers - the sliding pieces are sturdy and easy for toddlers to move. No story line = no pressure. Perfect when toddlers are a little distracted - you can stop and start easily.

Cool slides but hardly anywords at all!!

El especially likes the dogs and the tractor, but she's been learning many of these animals.

Read with my baby (15 months). A simple concept: the front cover and each double-page spread have slider mechanisms. Some of the slider mechanisms work better than others. I think this book would have benefited from a narrative in the form of text.

3 stars.
