Title: Usually love Karen Katz, but this was disappointing!
Review: We love Karen Katz books! Our 18m old has enjoyed all of the lift-flap-books from a very early age. Plus, who can resist "Counting Kisses"?That being said... this book is disappointing! My child has many lift-the-flap books and she's gentle with every one of them.On the very first page, the arm "swings" to point to a nose and my child always expects it to fold open like all other flap books (it's barely hanging on now). The next page has 10 toes that "wiggle", but the flaps are so tiny they are impossible for little fingers to pry up (do we expect our toddlers to use their fingernails?). The "pull the ears" page is the most ridiculous. The mechanism makes it look like there's a flap under the baby's chin, so of course, my child lifted that flap and proceeded to tear the page by accident.I'm definitely a proponent of children learning new motor skills, but this wasn't what I had in mind during storytime!
