3.0 out of 5 stars Cute, but not Practical!, November 1, 2004

This review is from: Melissa & Doug My First ABC Book (Toy)

Although I love the concept of this book, I have found that it isn't very practical. It's a book that needs to be used under supervision and stored somewhere out of reach. The little magnets end up all over the house and the book isn't interesting enough or engaging enough to be worth the trouble. The magnets fit like a puzzle into their own particular places; they don't allow for creative play like other magnetic books. The pictures aren't particularly cute and I would describe this as a run-of-the-mill alphabet book.

This review is from: Melissa & Doug My First ABC Book (Toy)

My daughter loves this book so much. It is made so much better than a lot of wooden toys that fall apart at the edges. I do recomend that your child be over their "everything in the mouth" phase as the pictures on the pieces will wear off easily. Also, I wish this book had a simple latch to keep it shut without the pieces falling out.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best toys ever!, March 6, 2004

This review is from: Melissa & Doug My First ABC Book (Toy)

My daughter (1 1/2) received this puzzle book as a gift and she loves it! Of all the puzzles we own this is the one she is drawn to time and time again. It is a great toy because she can occupy herself for at least 20 minutes or I can sit and play with her. I love that the puzzle pieces are just her hand size and slightly magnetized. The illustrations are also bright and colorful. I just bought this puzzle for my nephew too because it is such a great gift. The only reason I rated it 4 on durability is because the edges are slightly starting to wear, but considering that she plays with it several times a day everyday, I think it has worn well. I definately recommend this puzzle for kids this age.
