My one year old twins got this for their birthday and just love it. They can pop the shapes out and put them in their mouth. The pages are easy to turn for them and they seem to read the book longer than others. This book is my favorite in the series because all of the shapes have holes which make it easier to get the pieces out.
I let my son use the foam as a teether when he was really little and didn't have any teeth. He couldn't get any chunks off and when he dropped it on his face it didn't hurt. Probably not a recommended use though. Once he had teeth his grip was a little more secure and we could use the real teethers. Now he likes to take the pieces out and put them back in over and over again.
The binding wasn't as solid as I thought it would be, the foam pages started to unglue and rip out within a week or so. One or two sides of the foam pages were also slightly dirty as if the process of making the book wasn't controlled and entirely sanitary (or maybe I just have high standards I dunno) but I love "soft shapes" books and I think the baby I got this for really enjoyed the "on/off" aspect of it.
I got this for my son when he was one and he loved the book! He does chew on it some (though it specifically says that it is not a teething toy), but other than a few teeth marks, he has inflicted no damage. The premise of the book is good for little ones, as it focuses on opposites. it is a good beginner book for learning to place "puzzle pieces" in correctly.Cons: The only criticism is that my son, as well as other children who have played with the book, have difficulty understanding which piece to place in each slot. They try and match the COLORS, which do not coordinate.
Our daughter loves this book. As fast as we can put the shapes in the book, she takes them out. Hopefully, she will soon learn to put the shapes back in the book. She chews them, waves them, and hands them to us. They are also fun in the tub.
