Sign in to write a reviewThis book can be read cold. The flaps are sturdy, but a parent may want to pre-crease them to make it easier for very small fingers to catch the edge on the first read. A parent might choose this if their child is constantly trying to touch real decorations or presents, providing a safe and sanctioned way for the child to "open" things.
An infant will enjoy the high-contrast colors and the tactile experience of the flaps. A toddler will use it to practice color naming and predicting what might be inside, building their narrative skills.
