Sounds of the Wild: Forest (Pledger Sounds) Pop-Up – April 10, 2012

This book is good for children of many ages. For the youngest, it is a pop-up book. For older children, it is filled with many interesting facts about animals. The illustrations are beautiful. The noises add a fun dimension. Maurice Pledger is a wonderful author! My 2, 4, and 8 year old grandchildren all enjoy the books!

Colourful and informative - I like the whole series and it fascinates children. A wonderful way to learn about nature. I have not seen other books like this. The 3D and sound is amazing. I bought my first book from a sale and just had to get the others.

Really amazing pictures and sounds. All the animals are identified so even the unusual ones can be named. Grand kids 3 & 7 love it.

This is our 2nd copy - 1st copy loved to death! We have almost all of the books in this 'sounds of the wild' series. This is by far the favorite - I think because of the variety of animal types and the sounds. There are lots of easily identifiable animals, great settings, and good sound variety. Like all the ones in this series it is best for kids under 2 to read with an adult or the pop-ups may get torn/ roughed up. However my 3 year old does great with them and begs to take them to show & share.

Better for an older child. My grandson loves all books about animals but at age 4 this one had too much information. Will save and bring out when he is a little older.

I initially purchased this for my toddler grand daughter, but after looking the book over, I may just keep it for myself (at least for a few years). Seriously, I fell in love with this book!The book includes: 5 pop-up panoramas of : A Sunny Clearing: Deciduous forest in Europe, The Forest Floor: Deciduous forest in Europe, Deep in the North: Boreal forest in the northern U.S., near Canada, Winter in the Forest: Deciduous forest in Russia and Mountain Slopes: Mountainous landscape in the Rocky MountainsThe 3-D art work and pop-ups are just amazing and the sounds of the animals so very realistic as well. This is definitely one of those books I would purchase over and over again for gift giving. A "keeper" for sure.

My three year old nephew loves these Pledger Sounds books. They are beautiful and the pop-up illustrations together with the realistic sounds, make these books so enjoyable for the little ones!

The media could not be loaded. I bought this to use for school. The condition said it was good, but when it arrived, the battery for the sound was dead (which makes me think no one checked the sound on it). When I replaced the battery, the speaker was muffled and sounds crackled. Not at all what expected when buying a pop-up book, with sound, in good condition.
