Great Book!
By Cara R. Manley
My 2 year old love Salina Yoon's vibrant children's books. My only 'complaint' is that even the board books aren't quite durable enough with the cut outs and pop up items. The carousel horse didn't last a week. We taped it on and its almost good as new. A wonderful book!

Color, Action, and a Little Mechanical Engineering
By Pop Bop
This is a very cool book, and the "liking" range in our household has run from kind-of like it to absolutely fascinated by it. It's sort of the dinner and a show version of a book.There's no story as such, and just a few rhyming words per page. The appeal is in the color and action. Each page has a wheel inside. As the wheel is turned the colors printed on it pass behind the cutouts on the page. If you look at the cover image on the product site, imagine that the colored curvy stripes are moving around behind the triangular windows and you'll get the idea.There are six static cutouts - a color wheel, a train headlight, a sunflower face, a school of fish, a hot air balloon and a starry night. There are also two kinetic effects. With those there are pieces of stock glued to the wheel. As the wheel is turned a cam effect raises the stock above the page and then returns it. So, you get a carousel horse rising from the book and a kite flying out and back. These two moving pieces are sort of delicate and it's best for an adult to turn the wheel on those. The other wheels are pretty tough and they've held up very well.This is very solidly made. It is colorful, cheerful and fun. At some point you may get tired of "Do it Again!", but isn't it nice to find a book that causes that kind of excitement?Please note that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.

By Pamela Allison
This hard page book has bright colors, is interactive and fun. Every page can be different with every "reading." Entertains adult "readers" too.
