the other ones from this line are also amazing, my kid still adores these at 23 months old. There's so many things in the books that we don't really encounter in other books or day to day life that she's been able to see
We mostly do books as part of a sleeping routine between bedtime and naps. We do board books, typically ones with bright colors and minimal words per page. We also have books that we keep in the living room that have a lot of pictures, something like this where he points at the animal and then I say what animal it is. I'm not sure what your reading (or attempts at reading) look like, but you can try scaling it back and seeing if that is helpful.
This book for my son! I have a different one by the same Author that he really, really loves, so I think he'll be quite happy to have another one with new pictures to look at!
