Cloth Book: Fuzzy Bee and Friends (Coth Books)

Rating:
Summary: Crinkly and Colorful!
Review: I've not yet washed the book, so I can't comment on colorfastness. I can only say that Fuzzy Bee (and especially his friends dragonfly and spider) are a huge hit with my five month old. I bought this book as "filler" to make it to twenty-five dollars and get free shipping. Now I don't even remember what the "main" purchase was, but this one gets used every day.

With its variously shaped wings to play with, its crinkly cover, and its pretty good rhymes, this book is already my daughter's favorite and is likely to remain so for some time.

Summary: Good choice.
Review: My 5 mos old daughter enjoys chewing and manipulating this book since it has lots of fabric flaps to tug (ex: as insect wings) textures (shiny fly eyes, worm skin) and bright colors.

The cover is crinkly and it closes with Velcro. It would have been nice if it had a fold back Velcro tab so you can wash the book open without it snagging on things. It also would have been nice if the snail was a squeaker or if the spider would dangle from the web on a cloth cord. The little spider legs are cute, but very spindly and small -- watch out in case they come off with wear.

I'm a bit concerned about the colors fading/bleeding in the wash but overall it's one of the more attractive cloth books for babies and I think it was a good choice.

My 6 year old niece enjoyed reading the page rhymes out loud, so it ought to have a good lifespan.

Summary: Our 6 month old loves it!
Review: Our 6 month old loves this book. Every page has bright colors and many textures. The phrases are cute and clever. Her favorite page is the one with the butterfly and she will try to turn the pages back to it.

Summary: Good choice, but fades in wash.
Review: This is my Three month old's favorite book. She loves to chew on it and look at the pictures. She has had it for a few weeks now and gets excited every time she sees it. Her favorite page is the one with the spider, she loves to chew on the spider's legs. She even cried when I took it away from her to change her shirt!!!
