5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for toddlers, December 29, 2008

This review is from: My Daddy and Me (Hardcover)

I bought this book for my husband on his first Father's Day. We are both very happy with it. It's short but touching and has beautiful illustrations. For example, one page shows the baby bear and his father sitting on top of a mountain, watching the sun set. The text reads, "I'm as still as still can be, when you're sitting next to me." Another page reads, "I'm the very bravest bear, when I know that you are there." Pretty cute stuff.

It's also very durable. My 10 month old son loves to turn the pages and has even drooled on it a bit. We just wipe it clean, with no problem.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely story, unnecessarily gendered, May 16, 2011

This review is from: My Daddy and Me (Hardcover)

I bought this book to be "from" my daughter to her father for Christmas. The text inside doesn't mention whether Little Bear is a boy or girl, but the back cover states that "When Little Bear is with his daddy, he is..." So I took a permanent marker and turned his into her and he into she!

It's frustrating because there's no reason to have that on the cover when the story is absolutely neutral and lovely.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful but awkward, November 20, 2010

By 

Jeannette (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Daddy and Me (Hardcover)

The book is very short, sweet story of a baby's companionship with his daddy. The story is about how the baby bear feels/is when he's with his daddy (i.e. brave, still). It's also a very sturdy board book with a cushiony soft cover, which makes it a great book for very little ones. The cover can be wiped clean and it's fairly chew-proof. The only complaint I have is that some of the sentences are split between pages so it's a tiny bit awkward to read at a couple points.
