Needless to say, I am glad we are out of that stage. There are indeed benefits to your children growing up! And how cute is it that your C. comments?

There is no denying that children absolutely love these! And we even have a Bob The Builder one with a clock on it that has actually helped Timothy start learning the time. Great post!

Noisy ones are more like toys and are a way for pre-readers to entertain themselves, so sometimes the sacrifice is worth it. I agree that all sorts of books have their proper place.

All received as gifts from generous relatives. I actually can deal with the types you posted above; we have a Pooh one similar to the Mickey Mouse book and you're right, there is no plot. It's the ones that are songs that I'm supposed to sing along with that I can't stand. Books with sound effects at least foster the love of books - books that make me sing just irritate me.

The recordings are actual animals --- horses braying, pigs oinking, etc. She loves it that gift from her grandmother (note: *not* her mommy). My daughter has an “animal sounds on the farm” book.

The only time it drove me crazy is when he'd "read" the Transportation book in bed at night ... it had, among other obnoxious sounds, a train whistle and a tug boat's fog horn.
