This book was a gift from the grandparents and my 6 month old seems to enjoy playing with it HOWEVER, only a few minutes ago I began to smell a Really Strong Gas-like/Chemical Odor and after walking through our entire house I realized that this smell was coming from THIS BOOK after my son had drooled on it. I took a few sniffs because I was in shock and disbelief and am now washing it on a gentle cycle.

Parents should use this item with caution because I cannot imagine what chemical is making the materials in this book smell so awful. I seriously feel like throwing it away just to be safe.

Considering how babies put everything in their mouth I would be careful.

My nine-month-old son loves this book. He enjoyes not only "looking" for the bone but also playing with it. He loves squeaking the dog's nose, lifting the ballon and the dog's mouth. With puffy clouds and other fun things to touch, it's great for tactile development. It's a book he can play with without me reading it to him. The story isn't much but it's lots of fun to play with. It's such a great book I'm buying more to give to friends.

My son is too young to truly enjoy this (3 months old) but he is just now learning to touch stuff, and has given it a little exploratory touch. But I am impressed by its sturdy "handmade" feel that I think I enjoy more than he does, at this point. I can imagine lots of fun games we can play where I hide the bone somewhere and he goes through the pages looking for it. He'll get there soon enough--he already knows how to turn pages with his feet!

We got this book together with the bee and the flower book from Manhattan toys. When our son was younger, he didn't care much for these books, but now that he's over 2 and knows his colours, this is much more fun for him. He loves to poke the bone in the various slots on the pages, like the car, water and so on. He also likes to "read" this book to his baby sister. The quality of the book is very good.

Very good book. My son loves our dogs, so he is very interested in this book also. It is very colorful, nicely done and offers you some education on what is around you when you step outside. Both, my son and I, enjoy it!

I always have one or two of these on hand to give as baby gifts. It's a cute first book and one size fits all!

My 6 month old loves soft books and this one is her favorite. It has something to touch on each page that feels different. Keeps her entertained for awhile. Will be on my gift list for new moms. :)
