We have been ordering products through Amazon for a while now and this is the first complaint we have had. This book came with the pages stuck together with what we can only hope was chocolate. It was disgusting and we had to wipe it down with Lysol. Our son liked the book but I think when he isn't looking we will toss it. While we understand it was a USED book, that was putting it mildly. It isn't even worth our time to return it. We just won't order anything from Got Books Inc again and will be sure to tell our friends. We would not even give it the one star required by this process.

The is a great book for toddlers to learn their first words. When my daughter was young she always wanted to look at this book first when she was learning her words. each page has different colors and only one animal / object per page.
Great book, great value, go amazon!

This is a cute book, but not blowing me away or anything. My toddler likes them ok, but not her fave. Very simple one word pages with bright colors, still good for very young toddler. Illustrations are not that great.
