We bought this book for my 1 year old, mainly because he was a big fan of the Croc Hunt spin off. He's now closer to 2 and he still loves this book. If you view the YouTube reading of the book, one of the author's really gets into it and you'll get a better feel for the beat and where to put your emphasis. Even without that, it's still an entertaining book with lots of noises and lots of fun.
