Quiet Book

So, I'm pretty proud of this project, because I can't sew and I learned a lot making this. It took way longer than I thought it would, and didn't turn out perfect, but pretty good. I know what to do differently if I ever make one again.
The Front

The page on the left is going to have picture of us that Johnny can put in the tree, so it's his first family tree. The page on the right is "Lace the Football". The mailbox opens so we can put letters to Johnny in it, and the rocket slides along the ribbon to blast off tothe moon.

The left page is pockets that will hold puzzle pieces, the right page is where he can put the puzzles together.
The left page has shapes that match up to the ones on the page, so far this is his favorite page. The barn page is Natey's favorite because of what's inside.
Finger puppets! Natey loves to try and get these out and puts them straight in his mouth.
This page has a hot wheels car that goes with it that Johnny can drive on the road, he prefers to drive his toy airplanes on it though and pretend it's a runway, maybe in the next book.
This page is the same as the shapes page, just with his name. He is learning so well, he can almost name all the letters now, I think he'll be able to spell his name in a couple months.
The back, I love this pocket, my sister in law Michelle helped with this part, the pocket holds the hot wheels car, and the shapes and letters for him to match up. Sometimes I slip a treat in there too!
Thanks everyone who helped me with this, I learned a lot and am excited to make another one and do better next time!
