My baby loves this book. It has several flaps to lift that are designed with tiny hands in mind. Often these flaps are connected by a piece that is too small and tears - these flaps are large. The page my baby likes best is the one that has a blanket hanging off the edge of the bed. He likes to lift it up and "peek-a-boo"...
