Our 4 year old loves R. Scarry - Lowley the worm one of our favorites. We were extraordinarily disappointed with "A Day at the Police Station". An infant lost from the mom, a ghost in the bathroom (great help for potty training) I mean come on. Weak effort, not thought out - too bad. 3/4 of the book is great but that 1/4 just overwhelming.

Glad this was for a 2yr old. He crawled up in my lap to "read" the book and was only intrested in the pictures of what the dog was doing. It wasnt police work. So I have to say I dont like the book. If I had been in a book store I would not a purchased this book. This book has a very round about way of telling you a police station's duties. It cant hold a child's attention. Maybe a 10 yr old.

We love the illustrations and usually just make up a new story each time. It is fun to look at the details and discuss what is going on. The books enable a fun interactive experience for parent and child.
