We picked this up the other day at our local supermarket and it's a little young for my daughter at almost 5 years old. She still got a kick out of it because of the buttons and the noises it makes when you answer the question by pushing a button.
I would have loved to have this when she was maybe around 3 years old and I'd still love to have a more in depth book like this, with questions geared towards older toddlers and younger children. But the premise the same, ask a question, multiple choice answers, the button to press with the noises (clapping for a correct answer and I forget what happens for a wrong answer...lol).
My only real complaint about the book is how confusing it is. I was wondering if it was just me so I handed it off to three other adults and not a one wasn't confused. It's the layout that is confusing. The three multiple choice answers have an arrow going to and from them to a number which tells the child which button to press. The only problem is that it took work for me to figure out which answer went where. If they had simplified this the book would have gotten 4 stars from me.

I like the idea of this book, but not sure I like the given answers.

Some kids might get inspired by the wrong answers and try to aply them.

I think it's one of the books that should be read under the supervision of an adult.
