The Fisher Price story rhymes book is Fisher Price's usual sturdy plastic construction; it is marketed for children 6-36 months. I bought this as part of a set for my son who is 6 months and he loves to listen to the six different rhymes.

This product is not just to entertain my son it also introduces him to letters, numbers, colours, shapes and greetings.

This book is plastic with a green book worm in the middle with a red nose that lights up and says "hello" when pressed. There are also 3 learning buttons down the bookworm's body that can be pressed.

The buttons are;

* Top one is red with blue numbers on, when pressed it says the number of animals, cakes, boats ect that are included in that particular pages rhyme.

* The middle button is blue with a lighter blue letters on, when pressed it gives examples of the letters A, B, C that are included in that particular pages rhyme.

* The bottom button is yellow with 3 shapes on, a blue circle, a green triangle and a red square, that when pressed gives examples of those 3 colours that as above are included in that particular pages rhyme.


The book worm stands on a blue base that contains the on / off switch and 2 sound settings. The book contains four thick plastic pages in different colours that have a sticker covering each side of them with a different rhyme and related picture on each one.

The rhymes are;

* I went to the animal fair.
* The ants go marching.
* Row, row, row your boat.
* One, two, buckle my shoe.
* Hickory, Dickory dock.
* Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake.

As you turn the pages of the book the bookworm opens its arms which light up above the page that is currently playing making it easy for my son to know which page / rhyme is playing so that he can follow the words once he's a bit older.

The book requires 3 AAA (RO3) 1,5V alkaline batteries that can be changed by unscrewing the bottom of the blue base.

I have found that this product is a bit heavy for my son to hold by himself at 6 months, as he likes to throw things about and I worry he could hurt himself if not supervised by hitting himself on the head, although a plus point is the pages of the book are rounded so no sharp corners.

I also found that the sticker on one of the pages has an air bubble under it so wonder just how long these stickers on the pages will last as my son likes to chew / slobber on everything.

Although as mentioned there a few negatives with this product I feel that most of them are down to my son only being 6 months old and believe as he get older he will get more enjoyment out of this product, but at the moment he his more than happy to turn the pages, listen to the music and watch the lights as I sing along to the rhymes with him.
