Great busy book. This is great find for kids especially to keep them busy. The quality is great and the color is bright. The kids enjoy the finger puppets the most.

Very nice book with lots of activities to keep a toddler busy. We got this for our grandson and he loved all the things to do in the book. There are lots of pieces to keep track of but we enjoyed finding where the animals go and hearing sounds for colors, etc.

The “book” is very colorful and fun. There are 10 cloth pages of activities ranging from town buildings to farm to dinosaurs.There are 2 KEY RECURRING FEATURES/THEMES:1. Cloth picture objects that can be velcro stuck in the “right” place (like sticking the duck on the pond). This can be fun for the right kid. However be ready to have lots of cloth animals everywhere if the child is not ready for this game.2. You can overlay the pages over a "tablet"/simple sound making machine. When you push designated areas on the page, the tablet will read out words (i.e. colors on the paint shop page, animals on the farm page etc.).This can be a great game for some kids in the right development window.One drawback of my particular unit is that the battery cover screw easily stripped and was hard to remove.

This busy book is a great way to keep little ones entertained while helping them learn. It’s full of fun activities that encourage early development and the sound panel adds an interactive touch. Perfect for toddlers aged 1-4, it’s designed to support Montessori-style learning with hands-on play. The pages feel pretty strong and the whole book is well-made, so it should last. It is a tad on the pricey side but considering the quality and how much it keeps kids engaged, it’s still a great idea. Great for travel, quiet time, or as a thoughtful gift for birthdays or Easter.

I absolutely love this busy book! It’s an amazing educational tool for toddlers, especially those between 1-3 years old. My little one is 1 year old, and this book has quickly become one of their favorites. The book is full of engaging activities that help with early development, like matching, sorting, and simple puzzles.The sound panel is such a fun addition! It keeps my toddler engaged for longer periods, and I love that it adds an interactive element to the learning experience. The book's pages are colorful and sturdy, which is great because toddlers can be a bit rough on their toys. Plus, it’s designed in a Montessori style, which aligns perfectly with my desire to give my child a learning experience that encourages independence and hands-on activities.This busy book is also ideal for car trips or quiet time at home. It’s lightweight and portable, making it a perfect birthday gift or Easter basket stuffer! I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a fun and educational activity book for their toddlers. It’s a great combination of fun and learning that will keep your little ones entertained for hours.

I was quite excited to try this Giant Bean Busy Book with my little one, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The touchpad didn’t work well, which made it frustrating for both of us, as the interactive elements didn’t respond as they should. The content also seemed too basic for my child, and they quickly lost interest. It’s a shame, because I was hoping it would keep them engaged and help with their development, but in the end, it felt like more of a missed opportunity than an educational toy.

This is a great busy book. I like that it can be used for children between one and three. I picked it up for my neighbor’s grandchildren who are staying with her and they fall within that age range. The book is soft yet durable. It can handle some rough handling. The book does need two AAA batteries to operate (not included). Before giving the book to the child, some work needs to be done (removing the felt pieces from the sheets). The felt pieces attach to the pages in certain places. If the child is too young, the pieces will end up in the wrong place (as long as they are having fun, and they do not misplace the pieces). When you push designated places on a page, the book will read out words, phrases, numbers, colors, etc. This can be a great learning toy for kids (if they are the right age and in the right mood). The book is easy to use once you get the hang of it (the dots to press). I do wish there was a pocket on the back of the book for all the felt pieces (to keep them from getting lost). Overall, this is a great learning toy that is fun and sturdy.

Ok its just meah. Not the best looking book.I have seen better ones.Also the images and stuff are not clear. I love the music and electrical part of it but the book itself could use better material.

What I say:Young children can be HARD on their toys. That does not matter with this gem! Durable. Soft.I am attaching several pictures so you can see how it is packaged (inside and out), the directions, the colorful and vibrant pages, and the back of the "book" where the 2 AAA batteries need to be installed. Note: The 2 AAA batteries are NOT included.Each page has dots that, when pressed, will give information about the items on the page. Pressing the dot a second time and the book gives more details about the item the child is interested in.There are small parts, such as Velcro pictures, that may go missing if you leave the child unattended. Unless the child is over the age of 3, children tend to have shorter attention spans and will walk away with the picture/letter/part and eventually put them somewhere that you (or rather, I) will not locate for several days.I love how interactive this "book" is. My granddaughter enjoys pressing everything, especially the animals.This is the perfect toy for a preschooler. The child never realizes that they are learning as they play. It gives the child the advantage of early learning. By the time a school is introduced into a child's life, the child already knows, identifies, spells, reads, and can mimic the sounds of animals that her classmates have not begun to learn about. I am stunned.The weight is light enough to make the "book" portable. If I travel, my granddaughter is kept occupied and I enjoy hearing her repeat back words and sounds. The book causes me to hear a lot of giggles. (Note: If your child is inquisitive, this also means that you will hear your child say, "Hey Nana! Listen to this."As usual, if I have any trouble with this product within the next one or two years, I will return and note an EDIT at the end of this review to warn potential buyers.What Amazon's product page says:Montessori Sound Busy Book for Toddlers 1-3: Unlike typical toddler activity books, our busy book features a sound panel that plays sounds with just a press of the finger.
