An interactive experience

This book is a great deal. You get 3 books, for the price of 2 when they are purchased separately. The stories are all a lot of fun and appropriate for a 3-4 year old. The children listen to the story and have to look at the picture to answer the question on each page. For example, there is a map of a group of islands in Chocolate Island. The book asks which one of the islands is Chocolate Island. The child should be able to look at the flags on each island, and determine that the island they are looking for is the one with the flag that they have just seen. It is challenging, but simple enough that a child can solve most puzzles on their own. My daughter likes going back over the puzzle, even though she remembers the answers and doesn't need to solve them each time.
