This book is an audio book with flaps to lift to look Tourniquet. I gave this book to my 19 month old son but he does not yet understand the principle of the shutters, he wants to tear. So, I just tell him the story which is rather nice. The sounds are fun but otherwise the ball is very similar, others are more entertaining than educational musical excerpts. Remains a good book in itself with good value to offer to a 2 year old from.
