Product Description

The dots in the book go Pop, Pop, Pop! Poke the irresistible click-to-count buttons to hear satisfying “clicks” and “pops” as you count all the animals you see on safari! This sturdy 20-page interactive board book invites kids to sing along to “The Wheels on the Bus” song while popping and counting all the wild animals along the way! Poke-a-Dot® books help encourage language development, counting, and fine motor skills. Patented Pop-a-Tronic™ technology lets kids discover different popping sounds by poking the dots from the front or the back, with pages raised or flat!

    Couldn’t decide if I should give this 3 stars or 5, so I split the difference. I’ll start by saying this is a very large, thick, heavy book. I know some people complained in their reviews about how big and heavy this is and their kids can’t carry it or carry it safely. I agree that I stressed over my daughters’ toes each time they went to grab this, but I didn’t have issues with either child and now they are fully capable of getting this out without injury. The pictures are fun and cheery; both my girls enjoy sitting and looking at this book on their own. Plus they’ll sit there and pop the “bubbles” with themselves or each other quite frequently. (See my video on how they pop) Based on the amount of times they get these books out and how much they’ve fiddled with them, I’d say this is one of their most-used books. Their love of the book really should give it a 5 star rating. However, I will say that these are hard books to keep nice. I have another version (10 little monkeys) that my first kiddo had from birth. It has been poked, played, dropped, pulled, etc. by two kids now. The binding is pulling apart a bit which is probably from dropping, so mostly our fault. But the “bubbles” are also shifting around and out of the holes or many of them are broken and sharp plastic pieces are left in the holes. This is probably from the number of times they’ve been pushed, but both my kids are pretty gentle with books, so it makes me think the plastic doesn’t hold up well past maybe 1-2 years of use. Depending on how much you expect a book to last around kids, this may not bother you. I personally feel like we’ve gotten our money’s worth out of these, so I’m not too disappointed. I will also say that this version (wheels on the bus) has held up really well, and we’ve had it almost a year with no issues whatsoever. Grandma also has a farm version of this and hers is nice too, but not used as frequently. So maybe my other book was just a dud. I like the variety of animals and verbs discussed in this book, but I do wish that they got a little more creative with the song parts of the book. See my pics for more details.
