About This Book

From the #1 New York Times bestselling children’s book creator Matthew Van Fleet. Mouthfuls of Fun for Toddlers in an adorable format perfect for little hands! Four sturdy pull tabs and four touchable textures animate the madcap antics as a cast of frolicking critters shows toddlers that mouths aren’t just for eating!

Our Review

This interactive board book transforms mealtime concepts into a multisensory adventure, inviting little hands to explore counting, textures, and animal sounds through four sturdy pull tabs and touchable surfaces. Van Fleet's signature cast of expressive creatures demonstrates that mouths serve many purposes beyond eating—from yawning and singing to making funny noises—creating an engaging early learning experience about oral discovery. The durable construction withstands enthusiastic toddler handling while the clever mechanisms encourage repeated interaction, making this an ideal first book about body functions and animal behaviors.

What sets this apart is how seamlessly it blends educational content with pure entertainment, as each page turn reveals surprising movements and tactile elements that reinforce cause-and-effect understanding. Young children developing fine motor skills will delight in operating the tabs themselves, gaining confidence with each successful manipulation. Parents seeking interactive books that promote language development through playful repetition will find this title becomes an instant favorite for shared reading moments, fostering both laughter and learning in equal measure.
