A friend got this book for my 20 month old granddaughter and it has immediately become one of her very favorites. The various tongue textures are diverse - the sticky frog tongue is our favorite - and the tabs are sturdy enough to stand up to the constant pulling and pushing. The illustrations are whimsical but not cartoony, and the animals have a sweet and appealing look to them. Chloe has a lot of board books so being at the top of her list is a real recommendation from a discriminating toddler. She also loves the DK Peek-A-Boo series. I am going to get more copies of this to give as birthday gifts for 1 and 2 year olds.
This book is wonderful for small active minds.The pictures are bright and attractive and have some wonderful textural elements that will really appeal to those developing sensesThe large tabs to make the moving elements work are easy to use and will mean hat your little one can use this book as they growCannot recommend this book highly enough
Like all the Van Fleet books this is well made and can take the work out a one and two year old give it. My grand daughter loves the textured pages with the animal tongues. The girls still reach for "Heads" as their favorite Van Fleet... if you can only choose 1 that would be my choice.
I love this author and own all his books. I have had to purchase a few of them multiple times because, the attachments get pulled off or ripped. Therefore, I do wish that they would just laminate the attachments thus making them more impervious to toddlers tearing them off. The illustrations are amazing and cute and of course the kids love to pull the handle and move the animals. A great item the can be enjoyed for years.The item arrived quickly; within 3 days of my order being placed. The item was as described on the product page. The product was packaged well with large-sized bubble wrap surrounding the item; to ensure it arrived safely. The package was intact without any smashed corners, upon arrival.
My favorite of our Van Fleet books (we also have Tails, which is fantastic). This one engages my toddler and 9 month old and I have fun reading it. Even at the 3rd or 4th reading of the day I have fun when I get to "thirsty little tiger tounge lap lap lap!" It seems well constructed, too, although I wouldn't leave it with my kids unsupervised because I don't doubt their abilities of destruction. We got it as a gift and I would buy it as a gift for a friend.
The book is cute but I guess it does not work for toddlers that easily destroy everything. I think within a week my 2 year old daughter took out some parts. I glued them back but they could easily be taken out again and again ...Sorry, I really wanted to like it (the design is very nice) but I think there are better options. The moving parts should have made with heavier/harder paper. Not recommended for young toddlers.
This is the first book in a while that my almost 5 month old has actually enjoyed. We used to read every night, but I guess it was boring. I bought this after seeing it in a store and he smiled at it, tried to eat it, let me read it 3 times in a row before I was tired of it and called it a night. It's got everything a baby book should have: touch and feel, moving parts, rhyming. It's perfect. I've also ordered "Sniff" which hasn't arrived yet and after his reaction I'm thinking of ordering "Munch", just for some variety.
My daughter loves Matthew Van Fleet books (she is now 15 months). The only thing you have to be careful about is if your child is destructive and you leave the book out, some of the moving body parts (in this book mostly heads), might get torn off. This is not a reflection of the book quality, though. These books are well constructed and have a wide variety of textures and moving elements. In this book, my daughter particularly likes the first page where a "scratchy' tiger tongue can be found. Definitely consider buying the "Munch" and "Sniff" books as well!
