Arthur's Neighborhood: eith punch out figures and flaps
Our two year old absolutely loves this book.We've given this book as a gift to all the two year olds we know, they all like it a lot.We purchased our daughter a new book. She had torn the figures and slots they go in on the old book because she plays with the book daily!We had the figures laminated so they would hold up longer, it cost @$2 at a printing shop.One problem with some of the books is that the pages come apart,they need more glue inbetween!
great "waiting room" book
Over the past two or three years my five-year-old daughter has worn out two copies of this book. I am ordering a third. She never gets tired of moving around the punch-out characters, talking to them and for them.
20-Month-Old's Favorite Thing in the World
My daughter absolutely adores this book. Like another reviewer, my only complaint is the sturdiness of the play people. Once I'd taped Arthur's head on for the second time, it occurred to me to laminate 'em! That's what I'll do when I get our backup version of this. So that's the ticket. Other than that, she loves this book. She'll sit forEVer putting the guys in and taking them out. I've not seen her concentrate and work so hard at anything else yet.
My son's favorite book
My son (20 months) can't get enough of this book.We play with it for hours every day.I'd give it nearly 5 stars, but I'm a little bit unhappy with the play figures.I wish they were more sturdy!Other than that: an awesome book.A great gift, too.
Good fun
This book takes the child through a typical arthur day:breakfast, school, play, fire engines, shopping, etc.The flaps open, to reveal pictures and words. The characters punch out and are moved into slots ondifferent pages to show different activities. These types of books are funfor kids, and provide a good source of topics for discussion while they gothrough the book.This one has a "let's find Pal" theme that isuseful and educational, and there a good number of flaps, of differentsizes, shapes and content. Overall, this is one of the better lift and flapbooks I've seen.I'd really give it nearly 5 stars; unfortunately, none ofthese books, while useful, are really elegant stories.
