Highlights
Description
With Six double-sided, interactive pages feature animals from 12 habitats and environments. Kids have a natural curiosity about animals, and this book provides lots of opportunities for exploration with illustrations and photographs of animals from the desert, savanna, rain forest and more. Three modes teach about animal names, animal sounds and fun facts on each page. Switch the language setting to hear about the animals and listen to songs in either English or Spanish. Fun facts about animals promote early science awareness, making this book a must-have addition to every little learner's library.
Information
Our SmartKidsPlanet initiative began in 2017 when 3 geeky and dedicated parents saw a gap in the children’s toys and games market. An opportunity was spotted while we struggled to find toys and games for our kids which enriched their minds and guided them toward science, art, math and construction. The trio then knew that their paths were set, establishing an online shop with a comprehensive range of intelligent toys for babies, children and young teenagers.
With offices based in California, our SmartKidsPlanet team enjoys a daily growth in our presence within the children’s educational toys market. We love our new place in life, and we love helping young minds with their growth and skill development, all while having as much fun as possible.
My 1-year-old has recently started talking and loves books with animals. So, this was the perfect pick for her. It's a nice quality and I like that it's bilingual as we plan to teach her Spanish too. It doesn't take a lot of pressure to push on the pictures and get sound, which is nice for little hands. It divides up the animals by where they live (forest, garden, savanna desert). It offers the option to hear the animal name and sound, just the animal sound, or fast facts. I think the fast facts are a bit lacking - it'll say things like “this snail is very small” or “this elephant has tusks,” so it's not very profound but I suppose for younger kids it's best to keep it at simple phrases that are easy to understand. My daughter can't get enough of this book!
They definitely made sure it came in secure packaging üòÜ and it‚Äôs always nice when it comes with batteries in it and ready to play!This was my youngest son‚Äôs first birthday gift and although he only really likes pressing the star button (because it lights up and he likes the singing), I can really see him growing with this and learning from it.He‚Äôs pushed and hurled it a few times and it works as if it‚Äôs new.It‚Äôs got different volumes settings, reading modes, and you can pick from English or Spanish. I‚Äôm happy with the purchase, especially for the price.
My kid loves this deal. I love that it also has the spanish option. Tons of noises and words.
I do love this toy. However we ignored the 18+ month recommendation and gave this to a 9 month old. He chewed the label off the animal tab. And all it says is "This a... this fr.... this gira... this.. th.. th.. th.. this.. some of my favorite words ar..." because my son frantically touches everything on the page and it just jumps to the next thing without ever finishing a sentence. So that's a bit annoying. But it is an appropriate distraction to keep him busy when we really need it. I've added a short video and two photos.
Perfect to teach new words, specially for bilingual toddlers.
