Melissa & Doug Childrens Book Poke-a-Dot: All Around the Sea

My 18 month old son really enjoys these Poke-A-Dot books. This one is on the smaller side (as compared to the Old McDonald or Night Before Christmas books) but it makes it easier to take along.

This smaller book was better than the bigger ones. This one is more sturdy and not able to be ripped. We’ve had the covers of our big versions ripped clean off.

The pop dots are irresistible to babies and todlers to push as you read them this book. Anything that helps kids to enjoy reading is wonderful. Great idea. The larger and heavier ones are for older kids.

My son is one and loves this. It's great for interactive reading and fine motor skills!

My daughter loves her poke a dot books. The plastic pieces do eventually lose their pop, though and don’t stay popped.

My son got one of their larger pop books from the store that he absolutely loves. It is as heavy as a tank though. I ordered this one because it was lighter and easier to take places. Unfortunately hardly any of the buttons actually work. I’d return it but honestly I’m just too lazy to go through that process. Plus knowing my luck, I would probably reorder a replacement, only to get another book that doesn’t work. I don’t see this size in the store or I’d just go buy one there and make sure it’s functional… but that takes out the point and connivence of online shopping now doesn’t it??

Love the poke a dot book for my little one but I will have to say I was a little disappointed that the last page on this one, the dots don't stay pushed. we press them and they pop back on their own. Still a great book, but I know my daughter enjoys being the one to push the dots.

The book is cute but the poppers don’t even work on the last 2 pages. The whole point of the book is to poke the dots and it is defective. What a waste of money. And of course they want you to return the original book, probably so they can resell it and hope no one notices the broken pages.
