Addendum: child now 7 months old and loves the book, even if it is not too long to focus on! But by that feeling on each side something else, hear or see are it's probably for a long time an educationally valuable book. Since I was nowhere in the description find an indication of age, but it stimulates the different senses, I bought it at an early stage. Think that for most children from approximately 6 months (+/- depending on whether the child at an early stage like sitting quietly and looks at things, which in our son is not the case) makes sense for touch + 2 due to different sounds. One can book the sensing safe long began, because the little ones the animals came later recognize / classify + the story and can much later start something. Regarding ages will probably make everyone a different experience, because some children spend more "eye-catcher", others "sportsmen and little seater", ect. are. The babies who like to "see" and to observe possibly even earlier start to the Knisterbuch what, hence my statement of 6 months should be regarded with caution. Did the indication inserted because I myself looked for it and found nothing to as guidance for other prospective buyers.
Shelf life: read the book already 2 at 30 degrees in the colored wash in the wash in the net bag and it is not broke. Colors are not leaked / bleached. No seams frayed ...
