5.0 out of 5 stars The Miracle of Books, March 5, 2007

By	Lila Kostin (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

This book is a Miracle! It worked like a charm. My 2 1/2 year old daughter refused to give up her pacifier. I thought she would be 8 and still have it. After reading it everynight for a few weeks she was excited for the Binky Baba fairy to come! I recommend this book to all parents! BUY IT NOW it works. I love it. I plan to buy the authors other book. I will also review that one.

5.0 out of 5 stars It worked after we read it the first time..., June 28, 2007

By	Sherlyn Bienvenida "Jack's Mom" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My 2-year-old son gave up his pacifier after we read this book the first time. I thought it would take a few days at least before he got the idea of the fairy but as soon as I said "the end" he voluntarily put his pacifier in a box and left it outside his bedroom door. True, the drawings are are very simple but it got the point across. He was no longer using the bottle at this point and we never called his pacifier a binky so when I read the book I modify it a bit and not read the bottle part and use the word pacifier instead. I think the reason it worked well for my son is because he was only using his pacifier at night and he wasn't allowed to take it out of his bedroom. We still read this book everynight because it reminds him that is a big boy now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, December 15, 2008

By	mom of 2 (boston, ma) - See all my reviews

This is THE book that worked for getting our daughter to give up her binky. After the first reading, she was ready to leave her binky for the binky fairy. We had to stall so we could get a little gift for the fairy to leave behind!
