Overall good concept.... with a few minor flaws. Who doesnt enjoy a good pop now and than? The way the book is set up, you have one popper shared for two pages. So you pop the circles, which pushes them in, flip the page and your pops are now ready to pop again...because the way the plastic is in the popper, it makes a louded noise going one direction than the other. Thats why you get some complaints a few poppers dont work. They do, just cant get the same effect when going opposite direction. If you hold the pages away from each other you get a better response. Dont always work good when child doesnt want to wait.Other draw back, book thickness wears on bind. Going to make this a book we do together to prolong book life.Hope this was helpful, I tried to explain it, hopefully it made a little sense. Going to post pictures under images ....check them out
I bought this book because my 17 month old son already has the same type of book but with the old mCdonals farm animals. This one is just OK. Since it's just monkeys jumping on a bed, each page is repetitive. The pop dot does not pop very well either some of them don't even make the pop sound. I highly recommend buying the old mcdonald version of this book instead of this one with the monkeys.
The binding on this book isn't strong enough--the book fell apart under its own weight within 1-2 months. This was a huge disappointment, because my toddler twins loved it. I did my best to fix and reinforce it with tape and glue, but nothing helped. We didn't subject the book to any special wear and tear; I read it together with my kids so they wouldn't be rough with it. But the spine started pulling apart less than a month after we bought it, and the whole thing was essentially dead within two months.
My 3-year-old autistic son loves books, and even more so, to interact with books. Unfortunately, some of this "interaction" can be tearing off flaps, no matter how sturdy they may be. And a pop-up book in his hands? It is a very ugly massacre. So, what was I to do? How do I appease my son?Oh My God, Poke-A-Dot! You perfect little gem you! My son can have a kinesthetic interaction with books and won't come close to destroying them! Each click prompts him to "mooo" or count or give some sort of verbal response.I highly recommend these books. So much so that I have already sent my friends with children these books and they are a hit.
You know how kids love to pop those bubbles on the plastic drink lids at your local fast food joint? Enter in this sweet idea! In theory it's a great idea, a bit disappointed that the book is soooo heavy though - it's over an inch thick, each page is super thick - this adds to bulk and weight - so it's harder for it's intended audience to tow it around with them - it also means the spine takes a beating trying to support the weight of these pages - we have used clear packing tape on this book's seams as we lost out Poke a Dot farm book years ago for the same reason. I keep coming back because it's still a great idea for the tiny tot who gets a lot of mileage out of this book :)
My daughter loves this book, she says "pop" as she pushes the dots and as heavy as it is she still carries it around the house, she spends quite some time playing with which makes it worth it's weight in gold for a mama who wants some time to get things done!
My kids love this book! It is so much fun to turn the pages and pop the "bubbles" :) The only thing I dislike is that it is a boring book to read...It has the same "10 little monkeys" rhyme on every page, counting down from 10 to 1. Not much of a story. But it is bright and colorful, and fun to pop, so the kids don't care:) (I have a 3yo and 16mo)
Well, my daughter loves this book! It has little bubble circles for the kids to push that make a little pop sound as they count the monkeys. We read this book frequently before bed and she now yells "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
