The illustrations in this book are great, but the interactive features are just OK. For example, there is a 1 inch peice of cloth that is supposed to be a tail on an elephant. My 5 month old daughter can't grab this tail and it doesn't really contribute to anything. There is also a ball on a seal's nose that a child can feel. The ball is made out of a shiny fabric but doesn't really feel any different than the cloth used to manufacture this book.

I have a couple more months until the baby is due but I still decided to purchase some books ahead of time! I didnt expect this book to be soooo cute! Its a nice hands on book for kids and there are interactive pages in there as well!

My 3 month old loves this - she tries to turn the pages, is fascinated by the different colours on each page and loves the rattle and the trapeze artist flaps. The cover is good too - the elephant is slightly raised and the yellow patch behind him is furry.

My toddler LOVES books. You can't get her away from them-and this one is one of her favorites. It has lots of things to do throughout the pages-a rattle attached with velcro to shake, to sections to practice separating and reconnecting (also with velcro), a horn to squeak, and an elephant's tail to lift. She has been able to sit looking through this book for minutes! since she was just 6 or 7 months old-it really holds her attention. I highly recommend this book!

I have collected Dr. Seuss books and everything associated with his stories for over a decade before having children. I was so excited when his widow released the Dr. Seuss Nursery Collection; however, this is the most disappointing book in the new lot! With very few pictures and very few colors to engage a young child's attention, the book also has very few pages and a not-so-exciting version of the original storybook (i.e., not much to this one!). I've given it 3 stars because Dr. Seuss is my favorite but recommend it only for very young infants and those who appreciate his work as much as I do!
