Somebody gave us that when our child was born. I donated it somewhere pretty quickly, not interested in reading a smartphone training guide to a 6 month old.

How is the book a smartphone training guide? I've read it a few times with my toddler and enjoyed it, and felt like it was a very different experience from screentime (which they don't really get). I don't think it would have been enjoyable at 6 months old, since it's more about the kid doing things (encouraging them to help shake the book, et cetera) than just reading straight through.

Yeah, it's a fun interactive book.

As any parent is aware a toddler doesn't need training to use a screen. If anything it shows just how intuitive these UI/UX have become.

As I read through it, it all felt like it was designed to give the kids the feeling that they were doing the same things mom & dad do on their phones.
