My granddaughter loves this book, she's 2. After reading some review I noticed the Flaps are actually not flimsy at all, they seem very sturdy maybe because its a newer 2011-12 edition of the book and made better. The reviews never stopped me from buying the book because I know my grand daughter would love this book anyway. She loves drawing the clues from this book on her own Handy dandy notebook. She also enjoys showing me where all the characters are hiding. If you have a Blues Clues lover buy this. Really.
