From the brand

GREAT book, excellent quality, adorable songs, and very durable!
This is the 2nd Cali musical book I have purchased in 2 months. They are both very high quality, very durable, and the songs are adorable! My granddaughter has multiple special needs and it’s extremely difficult to find anything that really holds her attention and captures her interest. She LOVES both books, and I plan on purchasing many more in the future! THANK YOU, Cali books!

SUCH a hit
Purchased this for my sonâs third birthday. I sing âyou are my sunshineâ to him often and he loves music, so I knew he would love this book. Love that it is rechargeable and you donât have to deal with batteries. This book has been a big hit, he asks for it nightly and calls it his âsunshine bookâ. I will definitely be buying more of these in the future!

Keepsake
A gift for 16 mos. Contains several songs that are special to she and I (you are my sunshine is something we sing every time we see one another!It is well constructed and colorful- age appropriate for child to play on their own (which she does when Iâm not with her)We had a slight problem with function and I reached out to manufacturer for âtech supportâ -they immediately shipped a replacement. First book still plays songs-with exception of our favorite which was over played/broken. This is an âover-usedâ toy-lovingly beaten up and drooled on- it is holding up great. When she finally runs it out of life, I am grateful for stand by replacement. Baby keepsake.

Such a cute book with music
I love the bright colors and short songs. The best part is that it is rechargeable!Giving them to my 2 youngest grandkids for Christmas- ages 6 mo and 12 months. I hope they will like it.

Charging Cable NOT Included
I like this book and the fact that it has two volume levels. However, it’s not inexpensive, and for the price I paid ($24.99) it should’ve included a charging cable. Since I’m giving it as a gift, I especially don’t want to have the child’s parents have to go on a hunt for the proper cable to recharge. I should’ve looked into it further, so I could’ve ordered the correct cable to have in time to give with the book, or on the other hand, have decided on a different gift.Update: I contacted the company and they are sending me a charging cable at no extra charge. Kudos to them for their customer service in this instance! Therefore, I have upgraded my rating from three stars to four.

Doesn’t work
The book never worked. Charged it, light turned green, still nothing on either volumes. Must be defective. Not worth the money.

The music for the books are faulty, and too short. It doesn’t complete a full nursery rhyme. I bought the entire series of books in April and they don’t work anymore.
