This book is about loving your family but they skip the patriarch of your family! The Grandpa is missing and that’s just beyond me. The order is Mom, Dad, Grandma, Brother and Sister. That’s it. Why would you skip a fundamental foundation of the family structure? I understand every family is different but every family has a grandfather. Our son loves the other touch and feel books by this company but massively let down on this one.
This book is super cute but fairly unmemorable...not one of those “I have to go out and get this book for everyone’s baby shower” books, but one the little one will probably request repeats of 50 times in a row!
As someone who tutors little kids, the touch and feel aspect is perfect for keeping their attention and getting them excited to read! The kids and I love this one :)
I had got this book to read with my almost 2 1/2 year old daughter because this book cover looked like the one we read called Good Morning, Good Night! by Teresa Imperato. I could swore they were the same author based on the cover. I believe they are both from piggy toes press and that's probably why the covers were so similar. It was a very cute story for me but my daughter didn't really understand the words like grandma because we call my mother mema and she has no sisters or brother from me...I lost her brother at 22 weeks pregnant and she never seem to grasp the fact there was a baby in me, no matter how many books I read her about it.
This is a cute book for infants, toddlers, twos, preschoolers, and early readers. The odd thing is, it includes all the family members except grandpa. There is a page for mommy, daddy, grandma, brother, sister, and “you.” So unless a child is reading it to their grandfather, it leaves him out. I add in grandpa with grandma. I suppose you can do that with the others too, aunts or uncles etc. I love the book includes different bears too so as they get older, you can elaborate on that detail.
This was a cute book I read at Walmart. Unlike most "I love you" books, this one has the child saying who he / she loves. The bears were all cute and the patches of fur to feel varied a little bit in texture. I would have considered buying this book expect that it had siblings, and Natalie currently does not have any.
Aside from how cute the illustrations are, the best part about this fold-out-page book is that every single animal is soft to touch. This is one of my 2yo's favorite books and was her go-to bedtime book for months (along with Good Morning, Good Night by the same illustrator)
Daddy gave this to you either for your first birthday or first Valentine's Day. You love the last page where it says "I love you!" and you always point at the other person.
