Advantages: Hours of fun for children of all ages - even grown up ones!

Disadvantages: None!

I have to admit to being a huge fan of this 'book'. My youngest also has the Wind Up Tractor and Wind Up Noisy Fire Engine!

To call this a book, really is inaccurate. It is so much more than a book. It is totally interactive. It comes with a green wind up train, with a picture of Rusty the Dog leaning out of the train window - presumably to allow the wind through his fur!

There are three stories, each with a corresponding track for the train to go around. The train goes around each track twice when you give it a full wind. The third track, which accompanies the story Rusty's Train Ride, has a wheel, allowing you to change the direction of the track.

Although it is large for a book, it is no bigger than an average board game so is easily stored for the rare occasion it isn't in use. The pages are strong board making it highly durable.

Generations of children are now familiar with the Farmyard Tales/Apple Tree Farm range, making this an even more attractive gift. A bargain at £14.99 as there are hours and hours of fun to be had by the children (and Dad and Grandpa!) I would recommend this for any child over the age of 3 years.

Summary: Interactive and educational storybook certain to delight all children.
