Reddit reviews My Big Train Book (My Big Board Books)

My kid is 17 months old and got four toys and three books, and took three days to open it all, lol.

Definite hit was the Lauri Peg Stacking toys. He loves them. The favorite book is this Big Train Book - it has lots of great pictures of lots of kinds of trains, plus it is a wonderful size and it lays flat when open so that he can really look at it for a long time without it popping up to drift closed. No real duds - he also got a little marble-ball tracker that he loves, a hackey sack, and some color-changing bath tablets, and he loves them all.

Also loved the clementine he got in his stocking, haha.

I'm so glad to hear that Anki Overdrive was a hit! That is the big gift we got for my stepsons this year - they were with their mother this Christmas so they haven't opened it yet, but will tomorrow. I'm so excited to play with it and was worried it might fall short of expectations! I think that the really iffy gifts for the older boys are the magic-trick set for the 9-year old, and the rubber stamp starter collection (ink pads, knights/castle-themed stamps, and dinosaur themed stamps) for the 6-year old. But I think they will both really like them, just those are the gifts that are the most "out there" in that they are me testing new interests for each kid outside their existing comfort zones.
