I searched the web and couldn't find the exact book I have, but there are similar books out there. This is a cloth/fabric book that unzips open and has several things for the baby to play with: buttoning, sticking things like street lights and apples with velcro on various other things like apple trees or in backpacks or in a train car. It has counting and emotions and snaps with shapes. Despite the fact that the label says it is for 2+ year olds, my son got really into it at 1 year & 3 months. He picks it up daily and brings it to me or his daddy or anyone else willing to sit down and spend a half hour looking at it. And we do sit down with him- we have that rule, otherwise all of the parts that come off of it (4 apples, 4 emotions on the faces of bears, 4 shapes, a penguin, an elephant, 3 stop lights and more) would be scattered around the house.
Our version is red and white striped and has a flower and a sunshine on the cover. It's a great learning book and I can see us using it for years to come!
I purchased that book for him through a catalog - I will look and see if I can find it again.
ReplyDeleteI saw other versions that boasted the fact that all the little items were attached to the book so that you didn't lose them. That's nice, but it wouldn't be nearly as fun. He likes to take the stop lights and stuff them in the shoe, and put the apples from the apple tree in the backpack, etc. If everything had to stay on it's own page, the book wouldn't be as exciting.
