The book lights up and plays songs. It is also durable and easy to clean. The
toy will be appealing to your child for many years. However, it is heavy. The
toy doesn’t completely play all of the songs or read the entire story on each
page. Also, the second volume choice is a little loud for little ears. A parent

this toy, but without the cons. Based on the safety issues of this toy, I
wouldn’t want to run the risk of it smashing a baby’s finger or hand with the
heavy pages. I also wouldn’t want to damage their hearing from the music
accidentally being too loud. The safety of this toy is a concern to me. Also, I
would like a toy that would teach my child the whole song and read the whole
