I got this book the same day it was released, which was awesome on 's part. I have twin toddlers (~ 23 months) and they both love books. I chose this book for them because it is something different than what they already have (regular board books) and because the story interested me. I have not read the full version of this book but love this one the way it is (it is a novelty board book, abbreviated version). The book has a side bar with five buttons on it which, when pressed upon, make different sounds (engine's horn sound, monkey laughing, etc.). Here are the cons to the side bar-- The buttons are not raised, so I had to show my toddlers that pressing upon the icons will make sound. One of my toddlers really enjoyed the sound of the monkey laughing and he laughed every time he pressed that button.- The sound is not very clear and the volume is not very loud. I wish it was a little louder and a bit clearer.Back to the book itself, the side bar buttons are incorporated into the story via the use of their symbols. My toddlers are not old enough to really comprehend that, but I think an older child might enjoy pressing the corresponding buttons when the story is read. The story is sweet, short and entertaining. It's about a train that pulls into a station and various things are loaded on to it by various characters, such as monkeys, polar bears, etc. The illustrations are really nice and engaging. The page where the cars are being loaded was of particular interest to one of my toddlers, who kept pointing out the cars. They liked this book so much, I read the story to them multiple times in a short period of time. Given the fact that my toddlers really like this book, I would definitely recommend it to others!
My 2 year old loves trains and therefor loves this book. 4 stars because one of the buttons doesn't work very well. At first I thought I needed to replace the batteries (upon recieving the book) but the rest of the buttons work well so it's not the batteries. This is a great short story book perfect for my 2 year old.
Love reading to my son, he loves this book and the "goodnight construction site" book... nice short story... book did come a little warped but I think it was the packaging nothing serious
I love this book. My 8 month old didn't get the hang of it yet as the reading gets too long for him but I am sure he would like it a lot when he is older. Very cute story and love the sounds!
Got for my nephew and he love it. He's just turned 2 and love someone to read the book and you can press the button as you read the book.
erratic buttons
My 2 year old is obsessed with and loves trains, and loves this book. Was listed on for a great price.
Fun little book but not as fun as Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site (another sound book).
