## Questions & Answers

**Q: It says this product is rescue truck red? lol  The picture shoes a tan truck with safari animal rescue. What color is the toy?**
A: Mine showed and shipped a tan safari truck with appropriate safari animals.

**Q: Are these painted on both sides?**
A: The whole puzzle piece is painted the color, however the details (like eyes, stripes etc) are only on one side.  My advice would be to buy a flat board puzzle and a regular truck.  For the price I am not overly thrilled with this item.  If you turn the pieces sideways they can all go through most of the holes.  It is not very fun, it is not a learning tool at all.  Definitely not challenging.  My grandson really is not interested in it at all, yet cars and puzzles are his 2 favorite things.  Hope this helps

**Q: can i buy the animals seprately as we've lost them**
A: I don't believe so. You can email them at care@MelissaAndDoug.com to see if they have replacement parts, but generally they don't make them. It's usually cheaper to repurchase the product.

**Q: Is this good for a 4 year old or is he to old for it?**
A: I have several children 4-6 who enjoys this at work.
