Review: Recommend - I have 3 quiet books and this is by far the best for a 2-3 year old bc it gives more opportunity for sustained interaction with imaginary play. High quality and great for travel.
Review: I liked the book when it first arrived - I bought this for a 15 hour plane trip with my eighteen month old. While he played with it on the flight intermittently, as he gets older I find him really growing into the book and the activities. I liked the book when it first arrived. It's well made and has good activities relatable for a little person, but I must say, as time goes on and I see how my son plays with the book, the more I love it. He's just starting to talk and signals he wants to play with it with a "big ay!". He loves the tooth brush, zipping and unzipping the closet, putting his foot in the shoe and his all time favorite activity is the washing machine which he makes sound effects for. It's a beautiful book. I ordered two quiet books for the flight and this one, is by far the superior book. It has the largest range of activities and built in imaginative play. I'd definitely recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy it now! And my big day!
*by A***A on March 15, 2019*

Edit: customer service responded very very quickly and resolved our issue. Do not hesitate on purchasing this or the “my big day book”, they are wonderful! Though they might “fight over the one book(I have another ordered) It’s nice to see them playing with something not electronic. I got this for my almost 3 year old but my autistic 8 year old loves it as well as my 11 year old! She says it just so cute and I agree, I could sit and fidget with this book myself. Just received this book today for my almost 3 year old. We are having a hard time keeping her still in restaurants, she wants to do what her older siblings do and that’s get up and move. So far she likes it, our arrived missing the space ship for the astronaut page so she doesn’t have anything to do there but get frustrated with the extremely tiny buckle. But she loves the cooking page, doctor page, building page, mail page and fire truck page. The skate not so much, she loves the paint brush but has no interest in the paint buttons just yet. My 8 year old autisic child on the other hand loves this book resulting in me having to order my big day so we have two books, hopefully that one comes with all it should for $34 I expected more. Will update review once seller sends a new book with all parts.
