Highly over rated August 10, 2008
I read the other reviews with interest. My son is currently eight weeks old and is one of the more alert babies (translation rarely sleeps, cries a lot and needs a lot of stimulation). I had hoped after reading the other reviews that this cot book would give him some stimulation. However it is described as a cot book, I think a better description is a fabric book. I have seen many pictures of this book unfolded and appearing to be attached to the side of the cot. There is nothing to attach it to the side of the cot, you can just sort of lean it there, so if you baby flails about they will knock it over. I think it would be better with some attachments for the side of the cot otherwise it is just a fabric book that folds out.

This may be ideal for content babies to be stimulated by, but as a warning to parents with alert babies (you know who you are, you are the ones that are currently desparately searching Amazon to find something that will entertain your baby whilst you get five minutes snatched sleep) then I wouldn't bother.

Great purchase July 29, 2008
I bought this book for my 8 week old premature baby and it's the only thing so far that really captures her attention. We put it around her on her changing table or when she is having a bit of a kick in her cot and she is mesmerised by it - particularly the picture of the house for some reason! It does seem to calm her down if she is getting a bit fractious. Definitely a worthwhile purchase!

Excellent stimulation for tiny babies January 26, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this cot book while pregnant, and have been using it to entertain my twin boys who were born premature. This cot book has been used in their incubators in NICU, and they absolutely love it. They stare at each image with wide eyes, and reach out to touch it. Sometimes it gets a bit much for them since they are still tiny, so we only use it for short periods of time. However, it is clearly excellent stimulation and I am sure that the boys will continue to be entertained as they grow a bit bigger.

Nice baby book January 17, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

This is a nice book that my 2 month old son enjoys.

I purchased both this book and Faces (Baby's Very First Book) at the same time, and I must say that I prefer the Faces book. The faces book is designed as a book with pages that can be turned in the normal way - while this book is a string of folded up pages (eg, if you pull it open you can see several pages at the same time).

Having said that, the patterns in this book are more attractive than the patterns in the faces book (but less attractive to my son that the faces pictures in the faces book). I think it's worth buying both books, but if you were only to buy one I would recommend the faces book instead.

Makes things much more interesting for baby September 23, 2007

We used this book to line the side of our baby's pram after seeing someone else doing it and it really catches her attention. It must make travelling along without being able to see much more than the sky a whole lot more interesting.
