The book is very easily read. Not many words so pages turn quickly (which my baby likes). Storyline involves reader with interaction of spinning shapes. Teaches shapes and colors.

This book, as well as "Pooh's Five Little Honeypots" have colorful plastic shapes that baby can move. The words are simple, it's a safe cardboard book and our baby loves to spin the shapes!

Although this is a great book to read WITH your child, I do not recommend letting them play with it unsupervised unless they are 2 or older. My daughter is 8 months old and loves looking at her board books. However, she got her fingers stuck in the spinning shapes and hurt herself. I highly recommend the alternative "Pooh's Five little Honeypots" instead.

My 12-month-old son likes this book, and enjoys spinning the shapes. However, I would like to caution the parents of any teething babies that this book has cardboard "peninsulas" that stick out on either side of the top, so the shapes can be inset into the book. My son is very attracted to this book whenever he's teething, because I guess those "peninsulas" look like they could go pretty far into your mouth, if you wanted to chew on something. He chews on it so much that the cardboard starts disintegrating, and he gets pieces of it off, which could be a choking hazard. He manages to do this before I even notice he's picked up the book, so I ended up taking the book away permanently. It would probably be fine if you were willing to keep this book in an inacessible place until you were ready to read it to the baby, but I like for my son to have access to all his books. If your baby doesn't tend to chew on books, and actually prefers teethers, is might not be a problem.
