Quiet Book

This is something I've been wanting to make for over 5 years.  For some reason I've just never gotten around to doing it.  I searched the internet for some ideas, borrowed a few and came up with a few of my own.  I'll eventually be making a girl version for my daughter because I always like them to have matching things.   Here's my first quiet book!
 The alligator has a zipper mouth so he can eat the bird, turtle, and fish.
 These barn animals are finger puppets, they can be taken out of the barn to play.  The birds, snail, and catterpillar can be taken out of the tree too.
 Here we've got an envelope that buttons closed.  It's filled with tick-tack-toe pieces.  Also a shoe to learn lacing and tying.  The robot is just there to be cute.
 Like I said before I looked up pictures of quiet books and borrowed a few idea's (the tick-tack-toe game and barn puppets), but this page and the alligator page were my own design.  Alien puppets and their spaceship.
And that's the end!

Wow, this is incredible, Tammy! What a great idea. It looks like so much work. Is everything felt (except the cover)?

Thanks Jenny! Yes everything is felt except the white pages and the cover, those are just cotton with fusable interfacing to stiffen them.
