Rattle Cloth Book Colors Bath Book – May 1, 2005

I bought this book for my daughter's first Christmas when she was 4 months old. Around that age I noticed that she had taken an interest in books and other small objects, but she was teething and mouthing all of her books and toys. I thought that it would be nice for her to have a book that she could chew on without destroying the pages. Additionally, she didn't yet have the dexterity to turn the pages of her board books, but she could turn the pages of the cloth book easily. She loved the book and spent a great deal of time happily playing with it and enjoying the rattle, too.When my daughter was around 6 months old, my husband started reading the book to her every night as part of her bedtime routine and pointing out the colors. She is 14 months old now and we are amazed at how much she has learned from this book. She can identify many of the objects in the book. The neatest thing of all is that she can now point to all of her primary colors. When we are playing with other toys, like her blocks, for example, I can say "Point to the red block" and she will point to the correct one! I know that she learned this from the repetitive reading of Colors. Colors has made a great "first book" for my daughter, and I am so happy that she is learning as well as having fun with it!

This is a great book for babies. My daughter seemed to love this toy. I think its worth it!

This is a great introduction to colors and objects and the book is very durable too! My daughter loves the rattling of the beads in the tube handle and she loves to play with the beads attached on the handle.

I got this for my ten month old granddaughter and wish I'd gotten it sooner. She loves this little book: the bright colors, simple designs, the fact she can chew on it, it makes noise, all of it is good!

The book is charming and will be a delight for the babies.However, my daughter washes EVERYTHING for the babies. This book was not designed to go into the washing machine, but it survived the trip. There was residual moisture in the rattle part. If this leads to mold, then the rattle part will be removed.

I got this book for my baby when he was about three-months-old and he was so stimulated by the contrasting shapes and colors that his eyes would get really big and he'd shake with excitement. Now that he's seven-months-old he still likes to chew on it and he plays with the beads on the plastic handle. I use a plastic link to attach it to his bouncy chair or other toys. I think it's a very attractive book. I got one for a girlfriend who has a younger baby than mine and she thought it was very cute.

My twin niece and nephew loved this. Good colors, solid construction.

Good for the six-month old I bought it for. Very colorfuland the "handle and beads" are a great addition. We loveit.
