Although I normally stick to reviews of books only, in this instance I had to branch out because to talk about the book without giving a mention to the bear would simply be a disservice to the concept. In fact, I’m even going to say a few words about the packaging. As most parents know to their chagrin, most items for children come in packages that by the time you open them, the box is destroyed due to tape and twist-ties galore. I realize that the intent is to keep the product safe, but sometimes I think a masters degree in opening packages is required to figure out how to take the item out of the package, and all the while your child is cycling toward complete meltdown because they can’t have the item NOW!
