This farm book is great because it contains real photos of the animals along with decent quality sound that must be activated by your child with a button. The pages expand to include details about each animal that is more for your toddler. The quality of the book binding is also good so it can take a beating from your teething infant.

This review is from: Sounds on the Farm (Hardcover)

This is a FUN book, for kids and parents, an ideal holiday gift. It's a "noisy" book, with 8 buttons for the various barnyard animal sounds, but not annoying! Sounds on the Farm is very clever: each page has a short, age-appropriate riddle, i.e. "I walk with a waddle on my webbed feet. Who am I?" On the facing page is a colored barn, and the direction to "PUSH the yellow button to HEAR me. OPEN the barn door to SEE me." The sounds are authentic, the pictures are great, and the book is sturdy (important in a flap book!). The riddle page also folds open to reveal a colorful drawing of the animal on the barnyard with "Did You Know?" facts and information--again, age-appropriate, which is wonderful. My four-year-old enjoyed the facts as much as the game of the riddle and the sound. Very, very cool!

This is a great book if your 'sound strip' remains intact. The quality of this book, or at least the copy we received, was horrible. The strip was barely glued on and therefore came off easily after only about a week, exposing the wires.
