This cheerful farmyard picture book comes with 15 loose lithographed, magnetic animals to keep toddlers amused for hours. The animals have backings like those on refrigerator magnets. The book's glossy and extra-heavy pages each have a metallic interior that will hold the animal magnets in place. All four of its double-page, full-color illustrations picture Farmer Muddle, his family, and his animals at various times of day. What makes the pictures unusual is the fact that most of the animals are missing from them. It's up to children to use the set of animal magnets and complete each scene in any way that pleases them. The animals include a goat, a sheep, a horse, a pig, a cow, a dog, a cat, a duck, a rabbit, some chickens, a pair of mice, and even a butterfly! Kids simply open the book and slide open the barn door on the inside front cover. There they'll find the animal magnets. The book has a sturdy red plastic carrying handle attached to its spine and a matching red tab to keep the covers closed when kids carry it around.

The gold standard for magnetic play books,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Muddle Farm: A Magnetic Play Book (Hardcover)
We own several magnetic books that we purchased to keep our two year old amusing on a long car ride. Muddle Farm is by far and away the best one, in my opinion.
1. The illustrations are beautiful with an interesting distinctive style that make it stand apart from cookie cutter computer generated ones. 2. They have all the common farm animals. For young children like my son, this facilitates learning the names of all the animals. On various pages older children can pair them up with their babies or with the sounds they make. 3. This is the only book I've seen with a creative, well integrated storage container that is easily accessible to even a young child, but will not spill the pieces out when closed. My two year old can slide the barn door open himself and take the pieces out or put them away. Absolutely every magnetic book on the market should catch on to this because it is vastly superior to the difficult to open/won't stay closed plastic tray most use. 4. The story itself is simple but sweet, such that my child actually likes both the story and playing with the book CONS The only piece that annoys me is the butterfly because it is so darn small and somehow is always the one that gets lost under the couch.

Best choice for a magnetic book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Muddle Farm: A Magnetic Play Book (Hardcover)
I was looking for a magnetic book that would keep my toddler entertained on a recent plane trip and this one was fantastic. The illustrations are really cute and there are lots of little details to point out and discuss (even without using the magnets). The magnets themselves are housed in a "barn" compartment on the front that my toddler loved opening and closing (and seems pretty durable). I purchased a couple of others (including one Thomas the Train magnetic book) that were boring and unimaginative in comparison. The illustrations are very well done and even I got a kick out of them. Highly recommended for long car/plane trips. My niece, who's 5, was as fascinated with it as my 20 month old.

My 20 month old enjoys playing with this book. I purchased this book because she likes sticker books but gets aggravated that the stickers don't come off of the page, so the magnetic books helps this issue.
