Little Bear'S Happy Face/Sad (First Book about Feelings)

Summary: Fun Way To Teach Emotions
Review: My daughter really likes this book that her grandma got her. She always likes seeing Teddy Bears in books for one thing. Plus she loves puzzles. She knew right away what to do with the faces. But I'm still working with her to understand what goes where and why. The story is simple but fitting for the purpose. Very cute, vivid pictures.

There are a few MINOR problems I have with it.

1 - It would be nice if there were more faces (enough to fill the pages)

2 - I agree that the flaps are flimsy esp. in a toddler's hands

3 - The "angry face" wasn't cut right and didn't fit into the spaces (frustrating for a little one). I had to shave away an edge with a knife so it would work.

4 - Faces can get lost very easily if you're not careful. Good idea to put this book away whenever they are done with it, which also helps with the durability issue.

Summary: What a great, interactive book!
Review: My one year old loves books, but this one is her absolute favorite! This book not only teaches her about different emotions and expressions, but also develops her fine motor skills. She loves to take the bear faces out of the flaps and place them on the different bear bodies in the book. The only complaint I have, is I wish the flaps were stronger, because two of them ripped quite quickly. Overall, a great interactive book, that I know she will enjoy even more when she gets older.

Summary: This book taught my daughter to say HAPPY!
Review: This is a great book! To me it ranks up there with Goodnight Moon. The removable Teddy Bear faces make this an interactive book that's fun. My daughter looks for this book first at Grandma's house and I want to get one for here at home. She now says "happy" thanks to this book! A must-have.
