Carmen is so pleased with herself when she presses the button to get the nursery rhymes to play! This is such a brilliant idea - I just wish I had these when I was a kid!!Makes reading time so engaging and fun.

My granddaughter cannot get enough of “Baby Shark Animal Songs”! It is her favorite book by far.She loves to sit on her own, turn the pages, push the buttons and listen to the songs— especially her personal favorite, “Baby Shark.” Highly recommend!

For the love of books
Hi, I'm Cali! I've loved books since childhood and wished to share this enthusiasm with my children.
I'm French of Caribbean origin (Martinique, to be precise!) and grew up in Paris — but I now call Los Angeles home, where I live with my two young children. My passion for books stems from the musical board books I found in France. They had embedded sound buttons that babies and children pushed to hear songs and musical tunes. I wanted to offer the same pleasure to children in the English-speaking world. Thus, Cali's Books was born.
