Summary: My 4 year old loves it
Review: My 4 year old daughter got this for her birthday and she just loves this great book/purse. I am ordering one for my best friends little girl. This is one of the cutest ideas I have seen in awhile. There are lots of accessories and lots of cute things that the child, mom and grandmother can enjoy. My mom really enjoyed playing with this book with my daughter. I do agree with the other review we will have to be careful not to loose the pieces. I think this would make a great gift for any little girl

Summary: FAB FINDbut not recommended for TODDLERS
Review: o.k. so I think I bought this litte gem of an interactive book more for myself than my 18 mnth old. It would have been something I would of adored as a little girl, with it's pockets of treasures and flaps to pull out with brightly colored pictures of granny and baby. The only problem is that it is NOT DURABLE enough for a toddler. I don't reccomend it for children under 3 yrs old or if your child is a little rough with things. This will not last. It is made out of cardboard and alot of the little flaps are folded so that they can EASILY tear. You'll spend more time gluing the flaps back together than enjoying this great little book. Save it for later or bring out your inner liitle girl!!

Summary: So Cool!
Review: This is the neatest product I've seen in a long time and my two girls, ages 7 and 4, love it. There are so many fun extras inside the purse, I would have put this #1 on my wish list as a little girl. I haven't had any problems with durability or with losing pieces but my girls have always been careful with their surroundings and personal items. I would recommend this book for ages 3-8. My mom (granny!)was so excited when I told her about the book and she enjoyed buying it and giving it to my girls to share. By the way, I see no problem in giving this to little boys, there are some 'girly' items in the purse, such as lipstick (not real), but the point of it is that it is granny's purse and you get to borrow it whenever you like!

Summary: A Keepsake
Review: We just received this gift for Christmas, and I loved it. I could tell right away that it wasn't a book that I wanted to just hand over to my exploratory 18 month old. Although she is very gentle, this book is designed for exploration and curiosity, and I could just see it having some pieces ripped away just out of a toddler's normal zest and enthusiasm.
That being said, we have already enjoyed several hours playing with the book together. She loves to sit on my lap and "explore" the book with me. There are so many things to look at, and open and feel. She loves to "put on the rings" and open the passport. I'm enjoying many more times like this, and then when she is old enough to look at the book by herself it will be in good condition, and she will have learned that books are meant to be read and enjoyed and not ripped up. This way it stays nice, and we also have time together. After all, aren't all books meant to be enjoyed that way?
