Summary: A Tangled Mess Cured
Review: My 3 year daughter would play with the book until the ribons got tangled. After a while I ended up cutting the ribons off the book and buttons and now it is a lot less restricting. I don't recommend this cure for any children under 3. I wouldn't recommend this book unless you like untangling strings and have a lot of time to spend doing it.

Summary: Very disappointing, A waste of money
Review: The ribbons in this book get tangled too easily and too often. I have read the others' reviews and see that some mentioned instructions for braiding on the inside cover. I must have an older version because nowhere in my book are there any instructions for keeping the ribbons untangled. I am now past the point of untangling them for the gezillionth time to braid them. I am throwing it away and considering the money I spent on this book a waste. The book may be fun and have educational merit, but only if my children are able to use this book - which they can't because of the constant mess the ribbons are in.

Summary: A Tangled Mess Cured
Review: This book looked like it would really keep my 2-1/2 yr old entertained- especially on car rides. It's a nice solid book with large buttons securely fastened to long colorful ribbons. The first page starts with a brightly colored picture and an indentation to place one button. Each page adds another place for a button - all the way up to page 10 which has a place for all 10 buttons.

The saleswoman where I bought it cautioned me that the buttons get tangled, but I didn't think it would be a big deal and bought it anyway. I was so WRONG! Within minutes the ribbons are all wrapped around eachother and the buttons no longer reach where they're supposed to. If you don't mind spending hours untangling cords (or if you have a child who loves to untangle ribbons, yarn, long strings, etc.), then this is a terrific book. But for me, the point of the book was to keep my child occupied without my intervention...and for that purpose, this book failed miserably!

Summary: the tangle book
Review: This book looks so appealing for kids who like manipulating little things and strings. I was definitely drawn in by the strings and colors. This book quickly becomes a book connected to a big tangle of strings and buttons. I actually kind of enjoy untangling them occassionally while I watch TV, but I do this maybe twice a year. The rest of the time the tangle of strings and buttons is a handle for my 15 month old twins to haul the book around by. There are many better activity books out there.
