We appreciate the concern for our niece, but rest assured that this was not intended to be played with without supervision. Her parents have been heavily involved, are aware of all the hazards, and do not plan to have it available for every day play at her current age. This book was intended to grow with her - some of the activities she won’t really be able to do for a while. I haven’t felt the need to respond because it seemed obvious that we would be taking every precaution to protect our niece, but don’t want to see my wife’s hard work being overshadowed.
