Editorial Review

Unzip this 10-by-14-inch, bright turquoise, soft cloth book, and you'll find two animal-packed alphabet trains spanning both pages. Each train car is a pocket, and each pocket is embroidered with a letter of the alphabet. Inside the pockets you'll find friendly little pillow animals, each one marked with a letter of the alphabet: the pink elephant rides in the E car, and the green alligator rides in the A car. Your child will love taking the animals out of the pockets and stuffing them back in (a favorite toddler activity). You'll have fun teaching your child the names of the animals and letters, such as N for newt and X for xenops. When playtime is over, your toddler can zip the whole gang safely inside, grab the sturdy handle, and tote the little animals to their next destination. --Elisabeth Fredrickson

I bought this when my son was 14 months old and it immediately became his favorite toy. Within a month he knew at least 10 of the animals and could point to them when I asked where they were. He even knows exactly where to place his favorite 4 animals when all of the pockets are empty. This toy has helped his dexterity too as he has learned how to slide the animals inside of the pockets. These soft animals are just the right size for little hands and at any point during the day our son can be found carrying 2 or 3 animals all around the house. They have even helped with nap and bedtime!! Putting him down for sleep was a dreaded event as he would always cry. I began to place the entire "book" in his crib, telling him to talk to each of his animals. He becomes so focused on taking them in and out of the book that he forgets about going to sleep and ultimately falls asleep within 15 minutes. When I go in to check on him he is always sound asleep with one still in his hands! I HIGHLY recommend this toy as it teaches colors, letters, animals and helps increase dexterity.

Pockets of Learning has some wonderful books, playsets & travel bags for kids! This one in particular is great for teaching the alphabet, animals, colors, dexterity, phonics & more! My daughter loves this & she's not even 2 years old yet! We work on pulling animals out of pockets & putting them back. We work on what sound each animal makes. Colors of each animal, colors of each letter, sound of each letter & of course the alphabet! Excellent teaching tool! Soft enough for even the youngest ones. Travels well. A great bonus is that Pockets of Learning replaces missing animals if you call the 800 number! The only drawback, in my opinion, is that the animals are kinda small & some are "posed" strangely to fit the pockets. "ABC Animal Train" would also be great for home schooling & daycare! Overall, I HIGHLY recommend all POL toys!
