This gift was for my Nephew's 1st birthday. Having no kids of my own and living about 5 states away, I had NO IDEA what to get him. I remembered playing with Fisher Price when I was a kid and thought this was very cute ( I love animals!). I read some of the other reviews about this product and found them to be very positive and decided on this for his gift. I'm so glad I did! My sister said "He LOVES it!". He takes the animals with him on car trips and loves to take apart and put back together the ark. I would recommend this product to anyone with small kids, and perhaps anyone not sure of what to get small kids as gifts.
