Query: Didn't realize pages would tear...

I got this for my daughter when she was 18 months. I should have looked more closely before I bought it because I didn't realize the pages were paper. I just assumed they were laminated or plastic. She tore one page out within a couple days. She is now 2 and all the pages are all wrinkled up.I really really can't stand how long this thing takes to turn off. And being totally honest, comparing this to even her loudest toys, this one drives me the most nuts because it stays on forever. Ok, maybe 2 minutes, but seems like forever, especially when I have to come over and hold the off button myself, which has to be held down way longer than my daughter ever would.This toy is a good idea in theory, but I think they are just too young for it. It was way too expensive, and too fragile for this age group. I say just use board books until they are old enough for the more mature book readers.
