Where's My Bone Soft Activity Book by Manhattan Toy

This book was a gift from the grandparents and my 6 month old seems to enjoy playing with it HOWEVER, only a few minutes ago I began to smell a Really Strong Gas-like/Chemical Odor and after walking through our entire house I realized that this smell was coming from THIS BOOK after my son had drooled on it. I took a few sniffs because I was in shock and disbelief and am now washing it on a gentle cycle.

Parents should use this item with caution because I cannot imagine what chemical is making the materials in this book smell so awful. I seriously feel like throwing it away just to be safe.

Considering how babies put everything in their mouth I would be careful.

My nine-month-old son loves this book. He enjoyes not only "looking" for the bone but also playing with it. He loves squeaking the dog's nose, lifting the ballon and the dog's mouth. With puffy clouds and other fun things to touch, it's great for tactile development. It's a book he can play with without me reading it to him. The story isn't much but it's lots of fun to play with. It's such a great book I'm buying more to give to friends.

My son is too young to truly enjoy this (3 months old) but he is just now learning to touch stuff, and has given it a little exploratory touch. But I am impressed by its sturdy "handmade" feel that I think I enjoy more than he does, at this point. I can imagine lots of fun games we can play where I hide the bone somewhere and he goes through the pages looking for it. He'll get there soon enough--he already knows how to turn pages with his feet!

We received Where's My Bone when my son was 10 months old and it was almost an instant hit. He may have been a little young at first, but we still had fun. I think learning and recognizing the pages so they became familiar increased his enjoyment, and by one year this was a favorite game that he wanted to play over and over. The pages have different pockets for hiding the bone (in the fish tank, under the ball, etc.), and there are some textures as well (fluffy fabric cloud, plastic "glass" for the tank). I also use it for color recognition (Which fish is red? Yellow?). Although he's long since figured out that he can follow the string to find the bone, he still brings this book to me for us to play with (he's now 22 months), and will now hide the bone himself for us to find. This has been one of his very favorite toys for a long time!

We got this book together with the bee and the flower book from Manhattan toys. When our son was younger, he didn't care much for these books, but now that he's over 2 and knows his colours, this is much more fun for him. He loves to poke the bone in the various slots on the pages, like the car, water and so on. He also likes to "read" this book to his baby sister. The quality of the book is very good.
