Pat the Bunny (Touch and Feel Book)

Rating:
Summary: Wish the book can be more sturdy.
Review: My daughter (2 years old) loves this book but I will have to replace it soon because all the pages easily came out of the ringbinding (with her help of course). I have re-assembled it thousands of times but now the ring binding is strecthed out and does not want to hold the pages together. Not a book that will last through more than one child in my experience, if they make the book with a solid hard cover, I have yet to find it.

Summary: Guess you can't please everyone!
Review: Looking at other reviews, it looks like I'm in the minority here, but my son doesn't really like this book.
I'd bought it for him when he was around a year old - at the time I figured that maybe he was too young for it (although he did enjoy other books), but at 21 months, he still doesn't like it. He likes the peek-a-boo, but that's about it.
The only reason I can think of is that the soft colours don't really appeal to him.

Summary: A Real Winner!
Review: This was one of my granddaughters first books and one she still has today. Talk about participation in a read, this one has
it all. Gentle colors in the illustrations seem to sooth the child and she absolutely loves touching the bunny; I think that was her favorite. Of course 'peek-a-boo' was a close second.
If you have a little one this book will surely be a plus in their lives. Highly recommended.

Summary: From Son to Grandson
Review: This was my son's favorite book and first book. We are now having a baby shower for my son's first son and have asked everyone to bring a book for the baby's library. Of course this is the book that I thought to bring above all others. My son just loved this book and I can't wait to relive that time with my grandson.

Rating:
Summary: It's scented :o((((
Review: I'm allergic to perfume. I wish I had seen some indication that this book was artificially scented before I bought it. I got sick just unpacking the box.

Summary: Cute
Review: It's a cute book, but very dated. Not very sturdy either. I cringe whenever my son reaches for it, but that's not too often, as it doesn't hold his interest very well.

Rating:
Summary: A classic, perhaps a little dated
Review: I'm torn in reviewing this one - on the one hand, my son (9 mos) seems to love it, and quickly learned to pat the bunny, lift the cloth to play peek-a-boo, etc. So from the baby's standpoint, it's a winner. But looking at it from an adult perspective, I think the book is awfully old-fashioned (which may be part of the charm for some readers), the drawings aren't very engaging and the comb-binding is flimsy - I can't leave this book out with the board books, or he'll tear it apart. If you loved this book as a kid, by all means buy it and share it with your own kid. But in my opinion, it's not the most exciting, or even the best interactive, book out there.
