Too heavy
This book is too heavy for a small child to carry. I’m disappointed with this product. The smaller version of this book is much easier to handle

Poor binding/construction
The same thing happened to my kids' book -- the front and back pages started separating from the cover (bound too tightly?) and eventually it torn off. I tossed this book in the recycling bin. We have the Old MacDonald's Farm one for years and it's just fine.

Defective dots!
I bought this book for my grandson because he has another version and enjoys it. The problem is that on several pages the dots do not stay down when poked. Then of course when the page is turned, the dot is already down. The book was like that from the very beginning.

Poor construction
I was so disappointed. This book is so cute and my daughter loves it. The binding came apart almost immediately. You can't open it and lay it flat without the heavy pages separating the binding. I called the number on the back and the customer service rep said there's nothing that can be done since the book was so "well loved ". Definitely not the quality I've experienced with other M&D products

Use on the plane and at the hotel to learn about the ocean.
