My in laws recieved this as a present from us and I do believe I did good.
They seemed to like the bathroom reader series alot. I have other books in the house and they are read by all who live here and those who visit. Its hard to put these books down. No , the book doesn't have to be in the bathroom to read it. In fact we have at least one in every room of the house, except the kitchen. The kids love them, so I guess it must be a hit. Its not always easy to find a book that almost everyone who sees it is going to open it up and read it. These are great entertainment and very informative at the same time. I can't say enough about these books.
