The snap and button are a little hard for an adult to use let alone a little one. We are trying to use it a lot to get them loosened up!
I think the book is well written; however, the pages and/or matierial appear to be too snug (for lack of a better word) for the activities to be used. The cloth, that is supposed to go over the button is hard for me to even show my son how to do it. Also, the zipper is quite snug as well and it only shows the up and down motion; it doesn't help teach how to put the zipper together which is primarily what is needed. Finally, the snap, it is also too snug and/or the material is too short surrounding the snap that we cannot grip it to show our son how to use it.I understand that not all buttons, zippers and snaps are going to be easy for a child; but they need to be able to learn on something a little easier in order to know how to figure out the tuff ones.
Nice illustration, good for training of motor skills, but the snap and button are a bit too tight for kids.
I can barely snap the snaps in this book and the buttons are too hard for little hands. I like the thought because my children love Elmo and Zoe but the Elmo Doll worked better for practice purposes.
My child is fascinated with moving parts and zippers, so glad to have found a book with one. Too bad it's not in print anymore. Good news was I was able to find a used one easily!
Our three year old can now do all of the snapping, buttoning and zipping in this book.Now on to tying a bow and tying his shoes alone.Great learning book.
I thought it was a great early book - being cloth, and not rip ableAlso help teach the little guy the how to's of getting dressed
Poor quality. Cute thought behind the book, but the worst sesame beginnings book I have bought yet(I have bought 4).
