Reviews

[Cecile · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great idea, very poorly executed, to the point that it was confusing for the infants and toddlers and was abandoned by the preschooler.

[Kiyoko · Rating 2 out of 5]

Adults would think this is so cute. The sand page is fun for little fingers to trace. Too busy, not cohesive. The images do not match the words in ways that translate for small children.

I didn’t get it

I think this book is too busy for my 7 month old. I’ve tried to read it with her several times and she hasn’t engaged with it yet. Maybe when she’s a bit older.
