My daughter is 18mo. old and loves this book. She delights in the rhyming of the story and trys to sing along to the song at the end. Its a really cute book and is age appropriate for 18mo. and older.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Shiny Stars - a winner in my book, July 2, 2008

This review is from: Five Shiny Stars (Little Scholastic) (Board book)

Well, shiny, dull, whatever - our little boy, nearly 8 months, adores this book. It is one of his favorites to touch & look at - and captures 100% of his attention when read to him. It was one of grandma's books for visiting grandchildren - but when she saw my son's reaction to the story - and music - she insisted he have it. (i like it too)

PS: The mechanism for playing the song appears to be light sensitive. If you open the final page in a dark room, it will not play.....

I love the words in this book. It is sing-songy and cute. Unfortunately it plays twinkle twinkle at the end.

The musical bit stinks because:

1 - it works intermittently. sometimes no music at all...
2 - when it does work, the music starts before you can read the last page and finish the story.
3 - the music is so fast so you have to speed-sing twinkle twinkle, which is not very relaxing as a bedtime song.

I hope the music recording breaks soon so it doesn't interfere.

Lastly, we picked this book because my 6 month old son LOVES shiny things. Well the stars are silver and NOT shiny.

But the words are still darling and it has a cat in it (bonus points).
