Have you ever struggled with wanting something for your kids but also wanting something you don’t mind looking at either? This quiet book is like that for me. I could have bought one or made a really simple one but I wanted one that I don’t mind carting around with me to church, doctor appointments and on long car rides for years to come.

The front (above) has a large oblong button that is easy for small hands to open but it has a wrap around strip of fabric to keep everything inside. The pages of the book are held together with two large rings, making each page removable. This is awesome if you have more than one kid using the book. You can pass the pages around. You can also add pages here and there.

The house page has a bed and a dresser. The little boy gets out of bed and you can put on his felt clothes.

Below is an abacus counting page using orange beads.

Above is the number recognition page as well as buttons. The numbers come off so you can put them in the correct order and perfect your buttoning skills.

This is the apple tree page. Each apple comes off and snaps back on.
