Nayu's thoughts 

This ace series comes with noise! Farm is of the standard no noise book, with easy to slide parts on the page with the animal on. Hush..Little Bear is Sleeping was a pleasant surprise because on each page there's a button to press! Unfortunately I didn't have the right battery so don't know what the noises sound like, nonethless it's a clever addition, adding a new dimension to the classic sliding books.

The animals are easy to recognise with various black patterns on their body - I've heard babies respond to black and white images which I guess this is why the series is like this. There are splashes of colour but nothing too elaborate. The books are sturdy enough to handle frequent handling and I look forward to more books in the future.
