Very nice sturdy box with magnetic closure. The books themselves are very small, and while the entire box is meant to be portable, I think it would be better to take the books out. But I like the way they're organized in there, with colored spines that make up rainbows. The top row are books that teach words in different settings. The bottom row has books that are a bit more advanced. The child is meant to find something on the right page that matches the left page - and also the very hungry caterpillar somewhere in each book! My baby is still a bit too young, but soon we could use the top row. At least this set can be used for a long time ahead! Might update this review later.

This is a series of books. We’ve read them all several times. I don’t have an exact start date.
