    Little book packs a lot of punch
    My daughter loves this little book! It’s one of her favorites (she’s 17 months old). I can’t remember when exactly she started opening the flaps on her own… Maybe around 12 months? She’s dextrous though, so flaps are not a problem for her. At first she enjoyed me lifting them for her, and then she enjoyed lifting them herself, and acting surprised when she found the animal underneath. The illustrations are bright and cute, and the placement of the flaps within the illustration is very smart. The flaps close very tightly though, and need some fingernail work to get them open even for me, so that might be an issue with less dextrous children. I keep my daughter’s nails juuuust a bit longer than ideal, specifically to help her work her flap books, and that helps a lot. She learned to use her nails, and can get them open on her own. She also seems to really like the size of the book. This is our only book of this size, and she loves handling it, flipping through it, hugging it and just carrying it around the house.One thing I specifically love about the illustrations is how rich they are, and how much stuff is packed in them, without making them look too busy. In a lot of baby books, the background is pretty plain, with emphasis on one or two things per page. In this book, without feeling overwhelming, you can find a lot of little things on each page. For example, there’s a chicken or two somewhere on most of the pages, so we play “find the chicken”. Or the kittens are in a basket in the closet, so you can also see shoes, slippers, a coat, etc. My daughter loves identifying the random surrounding objects on each page, like the shoes. Or that the horse has a bucket of grain (which she has learned to identify as “pony food”). Her latest obsession is apples, and right now she is absolutely in love with the page that has apples on trees! When she learns a new word or a new concept, which happens to show up somewhere in this book, she’ll seek it out and flip to it over and over.I really didn’t expect much from this little book, but it has been a total gem!

    Great First Lift the Flap, and Diaper Bag Book
    Children open the lift-the-flap barn doors to reveal “Who says moo?”/ “Who says baa? et cetera”. A very cute, pocket-sized book with bright colorful, and not overly cartoony illustrations.Our ThoughtsThere are a lot of pages in this tiny book which is good. Its pretty sturdy, the flaps are a bit hard to do since they’re so tiny but that deters tearing! I love the illustrations and thoughtful and unique flap for each animal (e.g. kittens are inside a basket, a goat stands behind a laundry line, a duck waits behind bulrushes). Its the perfect size both for little hands to read on their own, and to fit in my purse. I can whip it out while were standing on line in the supermarket or waiting to be served in a restaurant and read it to my son. He received it as a Christmas gift at 13 months old. At 18 months old, he enjoys this book a lot and can now open the flaps himself. He likes hearing me the animal noises and loves being surprised by what’s waiting behind the door. As he has grown older I can now quiz him before we reveal the animal and he signs his answer. Recently I caught him reading it all by himself, so now, I give it to him to read on his own in the shopping cart thereby buying myself at least a few brief moments of cooperation! Great little book highly recommended! We actually lost this book during a an outing and I will definitely be replacing it as my son LOVES it!It’s useful for teaching animal names, animals sounds and life on the farm.

     È un libro piccolissimo, perfetto per portare in giro ed imparare i versi degli animali (in inglese). Al mio bimbo di 1 anno piace abbastanza.
