I love books that make story time more interactive, especially for kids who have a hard time sitting still and just listening. The buttons give them something to do with their hands while still keeping them engaged with the book. The safari theme makes it fun, and the “Wheels on the Bus” style is familiar enough that kids can follow along easily. It feels like a nice mix of reading, sensory play, and early learning. As a mom, I appreciate that it is screen-free but still exciting enough to hold attention. It is also nice for car rides, quiet time, or those moments when you want something simple that does not require a whole activity setup. This is a great book if you want story time to feel a little more hands-on and fun.

I got 2 of these books and don't see where a battery is needed.** A: I also owned two of these books and no batteries are required. I must assume this is simply an error in the posting. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fun Interactive Book That Keeps Little Hands Busy *by M***T on June 2, 2026* This Poke-a-Dot book is such a fun option for toddlers and preschoolers.
