Pat the Beastie: A Pull-And-Poke Book

Rating:
Summary: horrid for children
Review: It was a wretched wretched Thanksgiving the year I encountered Pat the Beastie. I was gonna to tell the story to try and emphacize the charm of this nasty little book, but now, thinking about it, I've decided the story is too dreadful. Ah well. Pat the Beastie is a great book though. You get to pull the beastie's nasty boogers and smell the beastie's stinky booties and take a trip down the beastie's slimy stomach. It's great fun, especially if you read it with a hoidy-toidy Brisish matron sort of accent. It's funny and gross and children get eaten, beats getting to try on Mommy's ring or feel Daddy's scratchy face or have Thanksgiving in Houston by a mile.

Review: My mother in law sent this book for our 2 year old and I was disgusted. Pulling boogers and poking eyes is NOT what I want to teach my 2 year old now that we have a new baby in the house. It is definitely not for small children.

Summary: Fun and Kooky!
Review: This is a fun "touch me, feel me" book--complete with fuzzy dragons (like "Pat the Bunny"), mirrors, pop-up parts, mini-books in books, etc.--a 3D experience. It's a well crafted, fun read, about two little kids encountering their first "Beastie." It's a "Where the Wild Things Are" combined with "Pat the Bunny."
