Wild Animals (Magnetic Story & Play Scene) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
From cheetahs to leopards, flamingoes to elephants, pre-school children will enjoy working out which magnets go in the magnetic spaces on each page, prompted by simple text. Once the magnets have all been stuck down, and the child has reached the last spread, a giant play scene can be folded out from the back. Here, the child can recreate scenes from the safari-themed story, or create ones of their own.

The book is good but not great. And I now understand why it's reviews are so mixed.Pros:•Cute scenes and fun, short, storyline.•Large blank scene for kids to make up their own story.•Lots of animal magnets to use and play with.Cons:•Some magnets stuck together and ended up will partially peeled off stickers.•Some magnets bowed due to packaging. Plastic container for magnets not tall enough to contain taller magnets without making them curved.•Animal magnets are very thin.•Magnetic strength is not great.All in all I think this should still be a fun book for my son to play with but we will try to flatten the curved magnets and may keep them in a separate container son that they don't get curved again.
I can't comment on the text of this book, because none of my kids have ever asked me to read it to them. Indeed, they wouldn't notice if the words disappeared from the pages.What is cool about this book are the magnets! There are a bunch of them, and they can all be stored in the book itself. When the book is closed, the magnets cannot fall out of the storage area. Open it up, and the animal-shaped magnets can be used to create scenes on the pages. This is great for quietly keeping kids entertained in the car or at a restaurant.My one complaint is scale. For example, the leaf cutter ants are bigger than the tiger, which is a bit silly. (My husband jokes about possible B-movie plots.) That's a minor complaint, however, and I plan to order the farm animals book, because Wild Animals is so well liked.
I bought this for my infant daughter, thinking that "one day" she will really enjoy it (it was on sale and looked interesting, so I couldn't resist). She's only 18 months and recently I brought it out of the closet to see if she would be interested. I must say, I was surprised that this instantly became her favorite book!! Even at such a young age, she can open it, retrieve the magnetic pieces one by one, and arrange the magnets somewhat thoughtfully in each scene. She even makes the giraffe "eat" the tree leaves and "drink" from the pond. :)This is one toy that can definitely grow with a child. As my daughter gets older, she will learn to place the animals in the appropriate habitat. When she is able to read the concise instructions, she'll be able to put her new skill to use by following directions. We have even started taking the pieces with us to the zoo to demonstrate the connection between cartoon and reality by showing her the magnetic piece that corresponds to the real animal.In short, this book is well worth the money! Buy it as an investment for your child's education.
First day out of the package and we already are experiencing quality issues:- It is very difficult to fit all of the magnets back into the clear cover above the book. You have to turn them, shake it, etc. just to try to get them to fit.- My daughter played with it maybe 20 minutes and of course dropped them all at least a few times but the stickers were already starting to come off the magnets.- Given all of this, my review should be horrible but it is a very cute concept and I like that there are several magnetic pages. I just wish the design was better.
I ordered two of these, this one and the Farm one. My 2 and 3 year old love them. They don't stick down so hard that the child cannot pick them up and move them around. So you really need a flat surface for them to play on. I wouldn't recommend it for the car or airplane, but just for an activity at home. My boys enjoy playing with them and it gives them something to do while I am reading to them. It has also helped them learn the names of all kinds of different animals, for example my 2 year old will correct anyone who tries to tell him the baboon is a monkey.
This magnet book is fun because it doesn't dictate where you should put the animals. Most other magnet books we have give specific places to put the magnets. This one allows them to creatively place them wherever they want. The last page is even a trifold so it opens up bigger allowing for more space to play. Very fun book. My daughter is 2 and loves it. Perfect for a place that requires some quiet activities like church. It's no mess and easy clean up. We love it.
I have nothing negative to say about this product (well ok it could always be cheaper, and I had been ordering it on a deal that was buy 3 get 4th one free but that deal magically disappeared as i was putting in my order). Anyway apart from those glitches, the product itself arrived quickly, and wonderful. There is this youtube video which is really sweet you can have that playing with your child with this book. That's how I found out about the book actually. If your little one is an animal lover, this book has many original animals and it will increase their vocabulary! My son can now say the animals in here and identify them with ease, just a week maybe after getting it. The video really helps out too (youtube search iKIDSWORLD under 'Learning Animals in English')
Awesome book with magnets! My 4 year old loves putting the animals on the book as I read the story. There's a place at the end where they can make their own scene. Love that the book has a place to keep the magnets.
