5.0 out of 5 stars 5 year old daughter loves it February 26, 2008

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I bought this after buying some other games for my daughter that she found frustrating due to the amount of reading involved or difficulty level. This is an easy game, simple for her to use on her own, and she absolutely loves it. Finding good games for a 5 year old girl is challenging, but this one hits the mark. I highly recommend this for anyone trying to find a cute, fun, easy and entertaining game for their young children. I would say this game is perfect for 4-7 year olds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hours of Fun!!! January 12, 2008

By Alicia Jimenez

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I have a 6yr old little girl and she just can't get enough of this game. Very easy yet entertaining for the older kids. Looks geared more towards the girls but has bears for the boys and many features if you have more than one DS. Very worth the full price and a major deal if you get it on sale because it was well worth it. My daughter's favorite parts are being able to cook for her bear (a little like cooking mama) she likes to bathe him and put his clothes on and you can even swing him on the swings. I'm an adult and she's had me play and the only thing I found is it can be a bit monotonous which is why I recommend this from age 3 to 8.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent game and perfect for children with special needs!!! February 8, 2008

We love this game!!! It is so cute. My daughters are 9, 7 and 3 years old. My three year old(who just turned three) cannot really play it exactly like it is meant to be played but it keeps her entertained doing the activities. My oldest daughter has special needs (williams syndrome) and this is one of the few games she can actually play and enjoy with her nintendo ds. My seven year old (who just turned seven) plays most ds children's games and loves this one and it is one of her favorite even in comparison with Mario and Yoshi's world. I would recommend this game and Amazon had it $10 cheaper than all the other places.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Build A Bear December 27, 2007

By CassElle

This is a very cute game for any child who loves Build A Bear. That's exactly what you do: select a companion and "build" him/her just as you would at a store. Your child will need some reading skills or be prepared to read along with them as they play. The game is very easy to learn.

3.0 out of 5 stars great game for younger kids, but reading is involved May 11, 2008

This game is kind of like Webkinz in a sense. The kids can pick which animal they want to build and can choose various rooms to go in for games or cooking, bathing, getting dressed, dancing, etc. However, there is a lot of reading that explains what the child needs to do. It'd be better if it just talked the instructions instead. As long as your child can read really well or an adult is with them to read teh instructions to them it's a good game. I'm sure once they've played it many times, they figure out what to do and don't need the directions.

I purchased "Build the Bear" DS Nintendo game for my 5 year old granddaughter and she loves it! Some of the DS games are a little more advanced for her, but she is able to enjoy "Build the Bear"! Even her little brother, age 4, enjoys it too!!
