Elmo's Busy Baby Book (Great Big Flap Books Plus)

Summary: not recommended though it does have some cuteness factor
Review: Its not worth paying for that toy bar which looks cute on paper, but doesn't really work well in practice. He has had this since 6 months old, and it is very difficult/close to impossible for my now 17 mo old son to work anything except the black and white roller. So while he does love the big peek-a-boo and other flaps inside the book, even I find it hard to push the triangle squeaky or turn that green dial or push the blue square, the toy is built way too stiff!!! he has done fine with similar concept toys like his crib activity center, so it is not for lack of know-how or trying.
The flaps in elmo's lift and look around the corner or one of the other big sesame street flap books are much more educational and just as much fun.

Summary: Okay, but a board book is a better buy
Review: My 14-month old son has enjoyed this book since he was 9 months old, but the flaps have torn off and the cover has become torn as well already. The activity bar at the bottom doesn't interest him and it's difficult to make the parts spin, etc. The idea for the book is good, but I would buy a good sturdy board book for a kid this age.

Review: My infant started playing with this book when he was only 5 months old. It is a exciting book that incorporates all of the babies first games. It also has the added toys on the front to keep the baby interested in the story. We have so many books for our son and this is the one he reaches for everytime he reads. I reccomend this book for anyone that has a infant or toddler.

Summary: Elmo's Busy Baby Book
Review: This book doesn't have many flaps, and the Busy Baby Toy part of it has never interested my 11 month old. We've since bought other lift-the-flap books with much more success.
