The Sun Maid Raisins Play Book

ISBN 0689831307 - Play with your food! Come on, you know they're going to do it, why not just accept it and turn it into a positive? Is it marketing? Well, of course it is - but so are Care Bear books, Disney books... they're going to be marketed to, and at least raisins are good for them! On facing pages, there are two images. One is completed and the other needs some help. The reader finishes the picture by adding a few raisins. Pictures include a Dalmatian, a snowman and other fun items. While all board books have sturdy pages, this one is extra heavy duty. The pages are also high-gloss, so they wipe clean easily. This is a book that is what you make of it - a way to get your kid to eat raisins, a counting book, just a chance to play together, you decide. That makes it a superb addition to your collection. From this series, I personally like The Cheerios Christmas Play Book best of all.

I typically don't buy into the type of products that are aimed at advertising to my child. In other words, I typically would not buy this book that will convince my child that sunmaid raisins are the ones to buy. However, this is such a cute book that I bought it. My son has enjoyed this book and has played with it. He pulls this book out when he thinks he needs a snack. He likes to put the raisins on the dog and then take them off and eat them. Very cute. Great for eye and hand coordination.

My daughter and I have had more fun reading, counting, and eating raisins! She loves making her side of the page just like the "twin" on the other page! Wipes off easily! A great activity book for "one on one" time with your child! We Loved it so much we are buying more for Christmas presents!

This book is perfect for babies and toddlers who like finger food (raisins and cheerios and such) and like bright, bold pictures. Kids are directed to add raisins to the laminated pictures to complete them; all are easy to do. The artwork is brilliant.
