I got this book just as we were trying to rid our son of the "binky" he's had planted in his mouth for two and a half years. It's among the books we read every night and I am glad to report that, slowly but surely, the binky is on it's way out.... but perhaps even more importantly, it's a fun read with sweet illustrations and it brings a smile to his face each night.

This review is from: Branli Says Bye-Bye to Binky (Paperback)

If it is time for Binkies to go bye-bye, which it was for us, it would be nice to have a book to help kids imagine going through with it. We had a plan for our 2 yo daughter to give her binkies to the babies at daycare for xmas. That way, not only was it her idea to get rid of them, but she wouldn't think any of them were hiding in the house anywhere. We planted the idea a few days before hand, and I ordered this book to help ease the transition.

I had just a few seconds to skim through the book the night before the great give-away. In it, Branli goes to bed but realizes something is missing. He has his bear and pillow, but some thing is gone. When he realizes that it is his binky, he cries out that very familiar call, "binky, binky." His mom comes and says it is time to say bye bye to binky. He cries, and his parents comfort him. Eventually, he goes to sleep.

Here's the problem: while he is crying, the illustration shows the binky up on the shelf. Then, his mother "wraps it in a paper towel" and takes it away. This is a seriously cruel way to take away a binky! When I read the book to my daughter, I change the words so that Branli's mother reminds him that he gave his binkies to the babies who needed them. I am trying to figure out how to cut our the picture of the binky on the shelf!

The first night was rough; and if we had binkies in the house, I might have given them to her. Now, three days later, she asks for her binky with a sly smile, and I only have to say, "Who has your binkies?" She smiles and says, "babies."
