"She listens to them almost daily"

- Sarah Chisun K.

We own 11 Cali’s Books and my daughter loves them! She’s been using it since her first birthday and she listens to them almost daily as a 2-year-old.

"Beautiful gift for a child in your life"

- Charlotte S.

This is such a cute book with a beautiful message. My little one loves looking at the mirrors and pressing the buttons for the music. It's easy for her to turn the pages and explore the book for herself. This would make such a beautiful gift for a child in your life.

"Easy for her to press the buttons herself"

— Oshea A.

Me and my little absolutely love it, very easy for her to press the buttons herself, loud volume! Their customer service answers fast and is a lot of help! Our book came with a TINY rip in the seam and they answered back with a replacement fully understanding!

"Never fails to make him laugh and smile"

— Jennifer A.

Julian loves to clap and dance to his favorite songs while mommy reads to him as many times as he wants!! Never fails to make him laugh and smile, and best of all he is learning to love books at the early age of 1!

"Great way to teach a love of languages at an early age"

— Kirsten S.

We brought three of these books to our beach vacation and the kids formed their own little reading circle. By end of week, we could all sing a few of the French songs, particularly the group’s fav: Frère Jacques. Great way to teach musicality and love of languages at an early age.
