My review: I think this book is absolutely suitable for my 8 months daughter cause it has touch and feel features.My daughter loves to play with the horses' hair and the sound that comes with the book will make my reading becomes interesting even though now she doesn't react much to that sound. But we'll see later since this book is recommended for 18 months and above.However for graphic my daughter sure loves it since she keep looking at it. And again I'm sorry for poor quality pictures that I've taken with phone camera. Hope your child enjoy this book!
