Melissa & Doug Poke-a-Dot! Old MacDonald’s Farm, Interactive Children's Board Book with Buttons to Pop, Educational Sensory Toy for Toddlers & Preschoolers Ages 3+ - FSC Certified

We absolutely love the Melissa & Doug Poke-A-Dot Books and honestly can’t recommend them enough. I have multiple toddlers in my home and every single one who comes over is immediately drawn to these books — they all want to pop the dots and “read” along. Why we love them: • The pop-and-click dots are incredibly satisfying and keep little hands busy. • They hold toddlers’ attention far longer than regular board books. • The pages are sturdy, colorful, and easy for little ones to turn. • They encourage counting, colors, and early learning while still feeling like play. Real-life use: I have these out daily and they’re always the first books kids grab. Toddlers who normally won’t sit for books will actually stay engaged and focused with these, popping each dot and pointing to the pictures. Perfect gift: These are one of my go-to first birthday gifts because they’re fun, durable, and grow with the child. I’ve never given one without it becoming a favorite. If you’re looking for an interactive, mess-free, screen-free toy that encourages learning and keeps toddlers entertained, these books are a win.

This book is an instant favorite in our house! The Poke-a-Dot buttons make reading so much more interactive—my child loves popping them on every page while we sing along to Old MacDonald’s Farm. It keeps them engaged longer than a regular board book and helps with fine motor skills and counting. The book is sturdy, well-made, and the FSC-certified materials are a nice bonus since it’s safe and eco-friendly. The bright illustrations are fun and colorful, and the popping sound is just the right level—satisfying for kids but not too loud for parents. Overall, this is a wonderful, educational, and entertaining book that makes story time extra fun. Highly recommend for toddlers and preschoolers!

We own several different Poke‑a‑Dot books, and the Old MacDonald version is just as high quality as the others. My granddaughter absolutely loves going through the pages and popping all the dots over and over again. It keeps her engaged every single time. We’ve even made little games out of it — counting the dots, finding specific animals, or popping certain colors. It turns into a fun mix of learning and play, and she never gets tired of it. If your child enjoys interactive books, this one is a fantastic addition to the collection.

My toddler loves the book and buttons are entertaining. The buttons sadly don’t always work. With first purchase, 7 of them did not work, so we exchanged it for a new one. This one has only 1 button not working, so I decided to let it be. The exchange was very easy though.

Our one year old loves this book. She plays with it every night flipping through pushing all the pop buttons. The book is heavy and pretty big. It teaches them to count. Worth it.

It is an adorable and super fun way for kids to learn counting. The drawings are charming and engaging, and the poke-a-dot feature adds a tactile element that makes learning interactive and enjoyable. However, there are a few issues that prevent me from giving it a full five stars. Firstly, the book counts down from 10 to 1, which feels a bit odd. I think it would be more intuitive and effective for children to count from 1 to 10. Another concern is the durability. The book broke a bit after moderate use, which was disappointing. Additionally, the book is very thick and quite heavy for kids. Parents need to be cautious when their little ones try to lift it, as it can easily fall from their tiny hands and potentially cause injury. Despite these drawbacks, the book is still a fun and engaging educational tool that my child enjoys. With a few improvements, it could be even better.

These are the best books! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a gift for a 1-3 year old. My 6 year old daughter still enjoys it when it gets chosen as a bedtime story.

Excellent take on old McDonald farm song . The book is a pretty sturdy thick book. I think it’s a great interactive fun book as it allows your child to practice counting, pop the dots, and learning about different farm animals and the sounds they make and of course make it a sing along of their favorite song. This will be excellent gift for kids that love hands on book, and farm animals.

Es el segundo que compro, esta vez es para regalar. Tiene éxito garantizado entre los peques, les gusta mucho. Recomendable.

Help your child with the book especially if they are younger as it’s really heavy. My 17 month old enjoyed popping the dots. Hopefully when he’s older, he can use it to learn counting or simply enjoy the story.

Terrific thanks

This is my daughter’s favourite by far, she got it when she was 15 months and absolutely loves it. She plays with the book by herself and we read and sing together as well as count the animals. I bet this will be one of those very long lasting toys!

Great book!! I’m sure my baby will love it. Some of the poppers don’t work properly but that’s not a big issue as they are mostly fine! Would definitely recommend it.
