There are certain presents that most parents think twice about giving their offspring: chemistry sets, cuddly toys that ‘talk’, and glittery hair colour that isn’t quite as temporary as it says on the can. The reasons are obvious. But child-free friends and godparents who need have no fear of tit-for-tat gift giving generally have no such qualms – this board book from Usborne is for them. Push the buttons and you are rewarded by the sound of a digger, a fire engine, a bicycle bell, a noisy café and so on. It’s quite irritating the first time round and it gets worse. But here’s the thing: children will love it – and they’ll love you, too. And eventually you’ll go home and the long-suffering parents can hide the thing.
