Customer Reviews

Great to learn lowercase letters
We had read the original book before, this one is half that story, but it is long enough for a little one to work through each page with the magnets.
My favorite thing about this book is that it teaches the lowercase letters (we had mastered the uppercase ones already), and this was a very useful tool because she loves to work with the magnets!
It was easy for her to confuse 'b' and 'q', and 'd' and 'p' as they are from the same mould (but different colors).

Poorly Made
What a disappointment. I can't believe how cheaply made this book is. I am glad I got in on sell or I would have returned it. The caring case is a zip lock bag. The pages can be easily ripped off. The pages are not plain paper and you put a mental page behind the story page. I could have do this on my own with the cheaper and FULL version of this book. The Magnet letters are VERY tiny. It really wasn't even worth the sell price. I'm a home daycare provider and I really feel ripped off. Shame on the makers of this book. The are some wonderfully made Magnet learning books by Top That! Including Counting with Magnetic Numbers (Magnetic Play and Learn) I wish I got more of these books instead

great addition to the original
We received the paperback edition of the original book as a gift. My 15 month old loves the original book but we needed a replacement as some pages have fallen off from too many baby tugs. The magnet version is great but keep in mind that this version stops when all the letters fall off the coconut tree (did I give the book away?). The magnets look pretty easy to swallow too so carefull with those.
