Don't Shake the Present!

My daughter is 1 year old and I decided to get this book for her in hopes that it would help her learn how to really digest images and interact more with books. On the first read she LOVED IT!When I started to shake the book she started laughing hysterically. It was fantastic. Then when I was done reading it to her she immediately wanted to read it again. It's one of her favorite books and every time I tell her "bring me a book so I can read to you," this is always one that she picks.I got it around December, so it's been about a month or two of reading it to her and now she has started to shake the book herself! I was so proud! And there's a part where the character bounces around the pages, and I always follow the line with my finger and make the bouncy noises, and now she does it too.Is it super short? Yes. But personally I think that's a good thing because if your kids anything like mine and wants you to read the same book to them 500 times in a row, then short books are a godsend.I highly recommend this to any parent looking to have a fun reading session with their kid and wanting to teach them actions and interacting with pictures and objects.I do wish the book itself had more interactivity, like actually having a ribbon they can help pull. Or actually having a flap the kids can lift on the page where Larry asks them to help him lift the lid off. That would be really cool. But this book is good for what it is.

Update: My replacement book came damaged as well. Must have been a bad batch of this book. Disappointing.Love these books, but unfortunately this one arrived damaged. Pages stuck together and bled through and there's a cut on the cover. One star off just as a heads up it came damaged although Amazon is already sending a replacement. Not the fault of the author or book itself which my kids absolutely love!

First off I want to say I love this book series. But there was no quality control with this book. Every page was stuck together, my husband had to take a knife and separate the pages. Some of the pages had color transfer like in the photo, purple got on the white. Its just not up to the standards that it should be. Will I buy the next book this author does? Yes I will. But i'll be buying it in person so I don't have to deal with stuff like this.

Just received this in the mail today, when I was getting ready to wrap it for my nephew for his Christmas present I noticed the pages were sticking together I had to really dig my nails into the pages just to tear the pages apart. Then when I finally got the pages open there were colored marks from the opposite page leaving marks onto the next page. It’s a cute book but it looks dirty now just from all the colors sticking together.

I did not realize this would be such a tiny book. all the others I got are normal size but beaware it is small and so so cute. grandson loves these books fun to read and play along...Recommend Gina C

I work with kindergartners and remember my own kids loved these interactive books. I bought this and it is cute. But..... I didn’t realize it’s a “Christmas” present. I assumed it was a birthday gift or something. I either didn’t read close enough or it wasn’t mentioned

This is a small board book. Check the size. Great fun to read with littles. If you get excited reading they get excited. The better the adult is reading the better the book.

I’ve been purchasing Christmas books for a Countdown to Christmas for my granddaughter. I was very disappointed with this book & felt its not worth the money. I would be embarrassed to give this as a gift. There are much better interactive Christmas book choices. I am returning it.

Great book! My toddlers loved it!
