- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2025Format: Board bookVerified PurchaseI love this board book; my granddaughter had it in her book library and so I had to buy it for my grandson. His mom said he loves it and after all, all kids love, pushing buttons, even if it’s on the page of a board book.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2024Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseI always give books for baby showers. This is one of my top 5 choices, I have probably given this book four times, plus one coming up. It is a great 'lap sitter' book (not good for a group). Just received a copy for my next gift and I am disappointed that there is some gunk on the back of this copy plus on a few internal pages. if I had never bought this book before it would have gone back. I'm wondering if a Used copy was substituted by mistake? So while this copy is not perfect, the story is precious. I may try a local bookstore next time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kindergarten teacher here - ages 3-6 love this book!
Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseAs a kindergarten teacher, I sometimes bring in my own books to class for storytime - this being one of those books. My personal class ranges from 2-4 and they absolutely love this during storytime, as all 18 of them can intereact with the story while still sitting down. While I definitely wouldn't leave the book to the children as the inner pages would be ripped, the cover is pretty sturdy! I've even read it to the older kids in the kindergarten and they still really enjoy the interaction in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Amazing!
Format: Board bookVerified PurchaseBased on the stellar reviews, I bought this book for my 2-year-old son. I didn't necessarily expect him to enjoy it yet because aside from a few classics, it takes him time to warm up to new books.
He absolutely loved this book from the first time we read it. It is now his go-to book. The interactiveness of the book is fun and creative and engaging.
Overall, amazing book. I highly recommend it.
