This board book may seem to start out like many other shape books until page seven is reached. That is when everything goes downhill, literally, an emu appears, with a wagon full of pancakes, going down a hill.
This tongue in cheek children’s book will keep adults laughing as little ones enjoy more shapes and animals doing outrageous things. There is a porpoise reading knock-knock jokes and a rhinoceros doing even sillier things. Sturdy pages fill this substantial book that is over seven inches wide and tall.Instead of a children’s book that makes the kids giggle, this one will make BOTH the adults and children laugh as they go through it. But it does fulfill its mission as a shape book, with some extras—along with smiling faces, and an instant good time. I highly recommend this 5+ star book to babies through age three. It is the best shape book I have ever seen!
