Playtown: A Lift-the-Flap Book

My toddler loves flap books so we picked these out based on the promise of a ginormous amount of flaps. The book did not disappoint. An adult may need to prep the book by opening up the flaps when it first arrives as they are snug. Once used a few times the book is ready to go for your child. I love the detail of the illustrations and stories. It reminds me of the busy world of Richard Scary but in a more practical, modern setting. We can look under the flaps and point out objects to work on vocabulary. Each flap has a nice story so it will last a few years as it will be great for a child learning to read too. Overall it’s a good investment and value. This will be added to the list of items we gift to others as it is so wonderful.

I bought this book for my two year old when we had a very long road trip ahead of us. We have a book by this same artist about trucks that my son loves, so I figured he would like this one too. There are TONS of flaps on this book. There are different areas of Playtown that you visit on each page. Some of the descriptions are a bit long on the flaps and my son won't let me read them all before moving onto the next, but since we have had this book for a few months we usually point at things and discuss without letting the book "lead" these days anyway. I am not exaggerating- we can read this book for at least 20 minutes on the nights my son picks this book to read. There are tons of different people and animals on each page and under each flap and some of the flaps tie into each other (a boy in an elevator lost his dog- who you can find sneaking sausages on the opposite page). It has also done a lot to help my son build his vocabulary and make connections between different things he is seeing or that I am reading about. I really can't find anything bad about this book- WE LOVE IT!

We bought this book to entertain our toddler in the car. It’s so bright and fun, sometimes we even look at the pictures and scenes if we’re sitting in back with her. Great book that has a lot to offer

I purchased the Playtown Lift Flap Book as one of many things to keep a 2 year old busy on two back to back 4 hour flights. This book is nicely put together, there are 5 different scenes and each has about 10 lift flaps. The illustrations are wonderful and each page has plenty of things for my son to point out and explore. Quality of this book is wonderful as well, the pages and flaps are thick enough to handle my toddler's abuse. We have several of the Roger Priddy First Words lift flap books which my son still loves. We plan on purchasing the Construction, Emergency, and Farm version of this book next. Would definitely recommend!

Great book, colorful scenes, plenty to read and flaps to explore. Flaps are pretty sturdy, I went through each page and pre-opened them. However, the binding isnt great, the book is large so, that might have something to do with it. We've only had it a little over a month and it has already separated from the pages. I will have to glue it back together.

My son was instantly obsessed with this book! He loves cars and we bought it for him to enjoy on a long car ride. It has durable pages with fantastic full color illustrations.

Got this for my nephews first birthday. Six months later he still loves it. Opens up all the flaps. It’s durable. A little busy though

My 17 month old is obsessed with this book. Right now his favorite topic is “Go Gos” - anything with an engine. This book is full of a great variety of vehicles, with so much hidden fun that he and I read this multiple times every day.He has a hard time with some flaps. I recommend preparing the book by opening each flap for the first time before sitting down with a little one. Many required my nail. Push the back of the page forward a little for easier release. This is only needed the first time. After that they are easy to open.

This book is amazing, my 3yrs old is learning a lot from it!

Perfect book for babies

It has many beautiful flaps. However, it is not as sturdy as a board book. My 18 month old would destroy it if he is left alone with it. It is wonderful for a slightly older audience

Perfecto para aprendizaje de vocabulario en inglés. Es de cartón duro bien plastificado y resistente y con ventanas que se van abriendo para contar detalles de las imágenes que están viendo. Muy entretenido y didáctico para un niño a partir de 3 años

Unser Sohn liebt die vielen Möglichkeiten zum Aufklappen und die Ereignisse sowie Entdeckungen rund um den Flughafen. Aufgrund seiner zwei Jahre sind die englischen Texte zum Vorlesen auch kein Thema.
