My 13-month-old son loves cars and trucks, and he also loves to feel different textures, so I thought this would be fun for him. It's turned out to be fun for both of us! Not only is it a book, it's also a set of trucks, a chewing toy, a bath toy. We recently had a party, and a nine-year-old boy wished that he had a book like this when he was smaller. I suspect he wouldn't even mind having a book like this now.
This book is super durable. It says on the back cover to not allow your children to chew on the foam pieces. I try my best to stop my son but always catch him in the midst of chewing!! The book and the pieces in the book have held up incredibly well to my son (14 months) attempting to rip, smash, throw, and chew it. Besides a few bite marks there is no damage. Also, I find the book to be very descriptive and educational. The textures that the truck pieces are inlaid are interesting and diverse. These soft shape books are exactly what I was looking for for my son. The only thing I don't like about them is that the pieces are super easy to pull out of their spots on the page. Alot of the time they just fall out of their spots. That is my only complaint.
I was initially happy with this purchase until one of the pages fell off within a few uses. My son likes to remove the large truck puzzles and the textures through out the book make it a great tangible experience. Considering the fact that this is intended for the very, very young, I expected a more durable product.
I bought this for my one year old son, but my four year old daughter is just as intrigued. Each page is thick and has it's own pop out foam truck, and each page is a different texture.
