The Gruffalo Sound Book

Product Information

The book looks thick but the back part doesn’t have pages as I gather this is where the battery fits. You just can't *not* love the story of the Gruffalo with its delicious rhymes and sly central character. The sound buttons are a bit harder to press than other sound books and my son often needs help to press hard enough. Press the twelve sound buttons in the pages of the story to make Julia Donaldson's classic tale of The Gruffalo come alive!

The sounds themselves are not the most exciting (fox sniffing, owl hooting, tummy rumbling) but they make the story a bit more engaging. I bought this as a Christmas present for my nephew because at 2 years old, he hasn't shown much interest in books (even for the pictures), but responds to anything noisy!I loved this addition, as did my 3yr old son, as it introduces an interactive element to story time and promotes active listening. I was a little disappointed as it only makes noises of the animals when the music notes are pushed I find it hard to push never mind a four year old.
