This just sends me back to kindergarten again. Initially got it for teaching a class, but didn't use it. Also, why are all the animals male? (

I don't love the messaging that if something isn't perfect, we send it back, but both Ms and Mx like this book. Lift up flaps and repetition are a big hit with the kiddos. Ms especially loved this book and would often request to sleep with it in his crib.
