TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
If the book is for a very young toddler, make sure pieces are glued well. A craft glue will have a stronger hold.
Make sure you read this book together with your child and discuss textures, count how many, trace the number with their fingers.
That way you can also monitor any pieces that get loose.
Make a page a day rather than trying to complete the entire book.
