Reviews

Our sons very much loved books where you could press sounds that connected with the images, they really engaged in these. -- Parent Reviewer * Made For Mums *
These books, and their accompanying sounds, really help to bring the story to life for young children as they get to press the buttons and hear hens clucking or trucks beeping. Plus, the books are illustrated with adorable and colourful scenes, and the simple text is great to read along to. * Made For Mums *
The Usbourne sound books make sounds throughout the story and my little girl really enjoyed these for her 1st birthday gift. She started to copy the sounds throughout and press the buttons herself so very interacting for kids. We have 4 (Seashore, Farm, Jungle and Zoo). -- Parent Reviewer * Made For Mums *
