Curious Columbus - Away We Go

Curious Columbus busy books are great many things to do to keep kids quiet and developing skills like colors, fine motor, dexterity even time. My older daughter teaches my younger daughter with thr book and loves to do it. These also hold up well. You just have to make sure those little ones put back all the pieces and zip it up. That is a nice touch so that you don't loose those fun parts.

Our toddler loves this book and it certainly can keep him busy for 15-20m ish. It's very well made and adorable!

I have purchased this brand before and my book has held up for years! I love that it is machine washable. I gave this one as a gift and the mother and toddler loved it. The pages are so creative and fun for situations where you need a quiet toy to play with. This is my new shower gift for everyone!

Absolutely love this book and this company. This book has saved us on long car rides and in restaurants so many times.The quality is very nice and well worth the price. We actually like it so much we have both quiet books (“when I grow up” and “my big day”)My daughter initially wasn’t super into it when she was around 2 years old but now she’s 3 and it keeps her occupied for quite a while! She even chooses it over watching Daniel Tiger in the car (we only let her have screen time on long car rides so the fact that she picks this over screen time is amazing!) I can see it lasting a long time and her continuing to be interested in it since she likes it so much and still isn’t able to do some of the activities in it (buttons, lacing) Once she learns those things it will continue to keep her occupied in the future.We actually lost a couple pieces to it and the company was very quick to respond and is sending some parts. What I didn’t know was that they now sell the spare parts for each book on Amazon as well so I don’t have to worry about it in the future.These would be a very unique present for birthdays or holidays too!

Overall this is a good quiet book, although more appropriate for slightly older toddlers. When we got this for a long international trip for my son he was 21 months, and couldn't open the tent zip or thread the shoelace, or open the buckles (the buckles to be fair are VERY tiny and even I struggle if I'm a bit tired). He enjoyed the moveable velcro items (and yes we lost a bunch on the plane), but it didn't keep him busy for more than 5 minutes. Now that he's over 2 he can at least do the zip, but still can't do the other stuff. Whoever decided to have a removable part on the front of a toddler book (the plane propeller) gets negative points though! We lost it immediately - probably on the overnight flight over to our destination, but who knows. We realized the plane looked weird at some point and that there was supposed to be a propeller on it. Otherwise this is well-made and durable.

Edit: customer service responded very very quickly and resolved our issue. Do not hesitate on purchasing this or the “my big day book”, they are wonderful! Though they might “fight over the one book(I have another ordered)It’s nice to see them playing with something not electronic.I got this for my almost 3 year old but my autistic 8 year old loves it as well as my 11 year old! She says it just so cute and I agree, I could sit and fidget with this book myself.Just received this book today for my almost 3 year old. We are having a hard time keeping her still in restaurants, she wants to do what her older siblings do and that’s get up and move.So far she likes it, our arrived missing the space ship for the astronaut page so she doesn’t have anything to do there but get frustrated with the extremely tiny buckle.But she loves the cooking page, doctor page, building page, mail page and fire truck page.The skate not so much, she loves the paint brush but has no interest in the paint buttons just yet.My 8 year old autisic child on the other hand loves this book resulting in me having to order my big day so we have two books, hopefully that one comes with all it should for $34 I expected more.Will update review once seller sends a new book with all parts.

My 20 month old son loved this. The felt pieces are durable and stand up to daily play.

This interactive book is great for traveling with a toddler. Highly recommend!

I bought this as a gift for an 1 year old baby and he was fascinated! Obviously it’s best play with it under an adult supervision but I highly recommend it.The quality is amazing and the colours are vibrant.

These books are just wonderful. They are made of excellent quality material and look really good. The children will sit for hours, on long journeys, lost in the fun of the books. They are excellent for improving fine motor skills and showing children how to learn, to tie bows etc. No more bored children moaning on long journeys. An excellent purchase and well worth the cost. Perfect.

I absolutely love this quiet busy book, it’s brilliant. I really love all the different jobs that are contained within it, it shows such variety and offers lots of lovely talking points. The different activities are all really well thought out and are great for encouraging find motor skills and manual dexterity. My little boy is already enjoying it at 2 and a half and whilst he can’t manage all parts yet I think that’s good and leaves things to show him and practice as he develops future.

Love this product for young children. Made with quality so can handle lots of use. Engaging and interesting for toddlers and even older children
