These are large sized board books with bright pictures. My son loves touching the different textures and loves sitting with the book in his lap and turning the pages back and forth. The musical and lights that flash for the king dragon at the end delight him everytime he sees them. In fact many times he will crawl right over to this book and spend a few minutes opening and shutting the book to the king dragon page.

A quick update. At 15 months this is still my sons favorite book. We try to rotate his books and no matter where we put this one he always digs it out to "read". A good counterpart to this book is Charlie Monkey; same type of book but it goes through zoo animals. ( )
