Not only is this book musical, but it's interactive as well while you're reading to your little one. There's 10 pages, 5 page spreads, and each page has a description of what's on it, and a face in a circle at the top that corresponds to the faces in the music box part.

What's great is the interactive part, you can do more than just read this book, or just listen to the music and look at the pictures. The point is, for example on one page to talk about animals that have wings, on another it's about animals with tails, another page points out ears. We also use it to learn the names of the animals, my son will point to them. He loves the book, and he's the critic, so I give it 5 stars!

My son who is 15 months old loves this book after almost a year. And to my surprise, he hasn't been able to rip or bend it like most of his other books. He has learned to push the buttons himself and now dances to the classical music. The book rhymes and it has common animals that he recognizes and points to. I love Baby Einstein books and this is one that I highly recommend. A+

I bought this as a Christmas Gift for my niece who is now 9 months old and she loved it! Obviously she isn't much into the actual words but the melodies and the illustrations keep her happily entertained.

We received this book as a gift and I would never ever recommend it to anyone. The music is terribly annoying and whats wrong with illustrations in kids book nowadays. Seems like the companys don't want to spend any money anymore for good illustrator. I can't enjoy to go through a book like this with my kids...

My 1 year old is pretty entertained by the book. She likes to grab my finger and push the matching image which results in a pretty annoying tune. I find it difficult to read the story while the music is playing (some of the songs are actually fairly long). However, I think it's great that she's able to match up the picture in the book to the picture on the sound button. My advice would be to read the story separately and allow the little one to play with the buttons independently.

It is fun and colorful, but the sound is just too loud. I wouldn't have purchased it if I had picked it up in a bookstore and tested it out before purchasing it.

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this product. I love most Baby Einstein toys, etc, but not this one. The music sounds terrible.

We enjoy reading the book together, but I can't wait for the batteries to go dead. It's so frustrating to try to read the book with the baby constantly pushing the buttons to play the music. We almost have to fight to get the correct buttons pushed to match the story, because he's so busy with the music buttons he doesn't care about the story. Maybe if you have a quieter baby that enjoys sitting and listening, this might be a better match; but my baby is constantly on the move and it's hard enough to keep him interested in a story without the distraction.
