My mother-in-law bought this book for my son last week. He absolutely loves it! He is 21 months old. He wants this book read to him several times a day and he is getting really good at identifying the animals and doing all of the "tricks" himself. It is nice that the book is so sturdy too...he isn't exactly gentle! I would definately recommend this book to anyone with kids (or a kid at heart...I love it too!)
