To not be able to turn this Story Orchestra book on??

Images attached, don't know if they will show immediately. If it doesn't show, there is a white battery pack at the back of the book but no switch to turn it on. I've even opened the pack to investigate. Nothing else on any of the other pages.

Does anyone have it and know the secret?

Is it the type where you touch the actual page for the music to play? We bought our grandson a board book like this and it works this way.

Has it ever worked?

We have a handful of these, don't think they have a switch. They seem to use a fair amount of battery power, so they run out quite quickly.

There is also the risk that the wires in the back have snapped.

They are lovely books though.

Ahh thank you! It does work, we just weren't pressing hard enough. Was confused because I looked it up and instructions said there was a switch!

Is there film or a tab on the battery that needs removing? Is the battery dead?

I don’t know the answer but there is a huge stand of them at the Southbank Centre that always seems to have a crowd of unsupervised under 7s testing them out so it can’t be that hard 😂

Came here to say you need to press hard with those!
