5.0 out of 5 stars Ineffective, April 28, 2011
This review is from: Baby Fix My Car (Baby Be of Use) (Board book)
After reading this book to my infant son three dozen times over a period of as many days, I set him loose in the garage and requested that he change the oil in my car. After an entire hour, he had not so much as popped the hood. I persevered in trying to get him to complete the requested oil changing task by starting the procedure for him. I opened the hood, held him up and showed him where the oil should go, and set him back down, handing him two bottles of replacement oil. Nothing. He just sat there cooing and smiling with no apparent intention of changing my oil.

Then he put his mouth on the cap of one of the oil bottles! Disgusting! You would think that a basic manual of car maintenance would at least effectively impart the idea that fluids for automobiles are not edible.

A month of study using this textbook and my baby is not only a totally unmotivated and wholly ignorant mechanic, but his approach to working in the garage is plainly unsafe.

"Baby Fix My Car?" More like "Baby Roll Around on the Garage Floor Drinking Poisons!"

This book does not work.

This review is from: Baby Fix My Car (Baby Be of Use) (Board book)
Not a lot of words, but infants need visuals to learn car maintenance. :) This book makes me laugh, my kids like it, and my husband thinks it's just moderately funny. Simple, short board book with a different theme.

This review is from: Baby Fix My Car (Baby Be of Use) (Board book)
Baby Fix My Car (Baby Be of Use)It is a little smaller than most board books, but nice and bright. I am sure it will be used to read to baby, and includes pictures of the necessary implements for each process. I am sure baby will be happy pointing to the car, and the wheel, and the hose, and so forth - nice every day items. I showed it to the older kids, and they really thought it was funny, but laughed at different things than the adults will, so this one should be a success for the whole family.
