5.0 out of 5 stars
Sweet book with a good message,
By Mme. Calico (Woodinville, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Big Happy Bear: For Children of All Sizes (Paperback)
This may be geared toward children, but this is a book anyone can enjoy. Its message isn't one we hear often in our society of crash diets and low self-esteem; what could be better to teach your child that they're beautiful and wonderful just as they are? There aren't a lot of children's books that touch on this subject, so pick this one up today and get your child reading about how fun it is to love yourself!

A wonderful book!,
By "angelwings1978" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Big Happy Bear: For Children of All Sizes (Paperback)
I recommend this book for all parents who have children who are plump, fat, or heavier than average. It is a faerie tale/bedtime story that helps promote self-esteem in kids who are having the esteem constantly knocked out of them in today's thin-obsessed world.There's also a terrific resource guide at the back for clothing and other items and groups for fat children. The message of this story is one that EVERYONE should hear. I think it would also be helpful for Big, Beautiful Women - even if they don't have any kids - to help with their own self-esteem. It's truly a charming book!
