Awesome Product and Clever Idea

This book is awesome! Bought it for my 2 year old and she loves to play with it. Illustrations are well done and the book is very durable. First seeing some ware on the edges of the pieces on our first book after a year of high use. The magnetic pieces stay in place making this a good travel toy for the car. We also have the animals version. My daughter will be three shortly and already knows the ABC's and animals from us playing with these puzzles with her. We have given several of the animal books as gifts over the last year.

Fun but you need to play near a fridge

As many reviewers stated before me this is a toy that needs supervision. My daughter is almost two and she does enjoy this book but we play next to a metallic surface so she has somewhere to put her magnets. It is not a puzzle I will let her play alone as I do not like to look for the missing pieces. I did wash one piece in the washing machine (she stuck it in her pocket) and it came out pretty much the same so it is very durable. Not to mention that I bought it at a garage sale and have owned for it about 6 months. It will be a bonding time for yu and your infant though!

Multipurpose toy

I love this book!! It's great as a puzzle and a book. I bought this for my daughter for her second birthday. It takes us a good 30 minutes to read through this book. I flip through the pages and as I take out each puzzle piece I show it to her and name it. Then we start the book over and she has the pile of pieces and I read the book. After I read the blurb for the letter, I say "Ellie can you find the monkey?" And she fingers through the pieces until she find the right one. Which develops her memory from me telling her which each piece was. And then she has to fit it into the slot working on... well whatever skill that is they use! Fine motor?! Anyway it's a blast to sit there and watch her brain work and grow. Once we've done it enough times, though I know she'll be faster and want to do it on her own. The only negative thing I have to say about this book is that the magnetic pieces aren't as magnetic as I'd like. I go this book to put in our chruch bag to keep Ellie busy during sacarament meeting, but because the pices don't stay in as well as I thought they woul, I don't dare take this book out of the house for fear of loosing the pieces under the pues at church. But it's a good house book.
