My little 7 month old showed excitement when he saw this on the computer, so I thought it'd be fun to see if he liked it in person. He does!
I've never seen one in stores so I wasn't sure what I was buying. All the center beads are connected by elastic. I had assumed the blue disks would slide on a rod, but they don't.The elastic allows the toy to be a touch flexible, so the mouse can bend a little.The little arms are connected by one rope, so they pull from side to side- a cute feature my baby figured out on his own.My baby doesn't like chewing on cloth, but he can't resist the little ears- even though he wrinkles up in disgust each time-so cute. The shape of the face is perfect for sucking on, which is why I was glad he "chose" the mouse over the bear or frog. I wish the mouse had a tail, but that's just for me.

This toy was for my 5 month old granddaughter. She would grab the little wooden ball of the "mouse arm" and shake it back and forth. The little ball came off in her hand! Thankfully, Grandpa was holding her and grabbed the little ball before she put it in her mouth!

This mouse is adorable and my 6 month old daughter loved to play with it and suck on the ears and hands. I was concerned about the ball hands possibly falling off (the string holding them on doesn't come through the other side). After about six weeks of use, the hand/ball fell off when I tugged on it to see how it was holding up. Please note that I did not pull on it hard--just a gentle tug.

Haba has a great reputation, but I see here on Amazon that someone else (out of the 4 existing reviews) had the same experience. Please don't let your baby play with this mouse.

Santa Claus brought several Haba toys to my son for Christmas this year. (I made a special request for 'no toys made in China' since he's eight months and puts everything directly in his mouth... like any self-respecting eight-month old child would.) Haba toys are just adorable, but I have to admit that the small balls (his hands) on Squeak-squeak cause me and my husband some concern; they appear to be on there VERY securely; however, they certainly put a lot of trust in that small rope. The Haba toys are extremely well made, but I still don't let my little one play with this toy without close-at-hand supervision. Some other great Haba baby toys options are 'Moby' (Colorful rattling fish... no arms) or Scalari (another colorful fish, no rattling, no small pieces to break off). Again, we've had no indication that any small pieces are coming off; I am just being overly cautious.

My 9 month old carries this mouse around all the time. He puts the little hand/ball in his mouth and the mouse dangles from there. He looks like a cat bringing home a mouse. He loves the ears, too. Sucks and sucks on them. It's little ball hands make a fun rattle/clacking noise when you shake it. I'd say this is his favorite toy.

My 3 month old really enjoys Squeak-Squeak. It helps him learn how to grab things and he likes to suck on the base.

I got this toy after reading such good reviews about this toy.Its cute but watch out..its really really small.I dont know why I didnt see the dimensions before ordering it.My daughter seems to enjoy it for couple minutes..maybe she is too young for it..(she is 3 months).But this doesnt seem to hold her attention for too long.The clicking sound is good but somehow for the price this toy doesnt seem worth it.I have some other HABA toys like the beetle and Kreigling and they are so much more value for money as she enjoys them.

My 6-month-old loved this even before he was able to hold it on his own. The arms swing around and make a clacking noise when you turn it, and he likes that he can hold it on his own now. I hate that I have to worry about the beads coming off, and I wouldn't buy it again now that I realize what a choking hazard it could be. However, it's sad because he really does love this toy.

Very cute, but my son is just not interested which is fine by me considering the balled hands could fall off if pulled and become a choking hazard. I'll stick to stuffed haba toys.

I just received this in the mail and the first thing I noticed was wooden hands attached to the body with string. Children will chew these little wooden balls and am worried they may break off in my babies mouth. I am returning the item. I think the toy is adorable but am not willing to risk it.
