Mother of a toddler and infant -- both boys

This book has been in our collection since my first son was just 6 months old. He is now 2 1/2 and still loves this book. The sounds kept him interested as an infant and as he grew older he was able to press the buttons and finish the sentences. We are on our second book becasue the first wore out from use.

Things that Go

Although this book is supposed to be for children 18 months +, I think it's great for anyone 14 months and over (My four year old still loves it too!). The wording on each page is simple and rhymes, so your child can participate in saying the words. Best of all, the sound buttons on the book make the sounds for the "things that go" (ie: car, truck, boat, spaceship, train). When the buttons are pushed in the right order (or sometimes it just happens randomly), two different surprise songs play. My two boys love this book and get very excited when the songs play!
