The Bedtime Bear

This is a beautifully illustrated, interactive book for kids. There are flaps to lift, and windows to open, and children will be delighted by them. My four month old is excited by the images and the various flaps as I show them to her and hence this is a value for money purchase for me. Amazon service fantastic as always.

Great book. Must buy for kids. So many pop ups, pull tabs etc. Will definitely enhance your kids interest in reading.

Unfortunately, I bought this without paying attention to the recommended age range (3-7 years), assuming that a ‘lift-the-flap’ title would be suitable for a 2 year-old. My little grandson didn’t find it appealing at all - he didn’t get the story or the jokes, and there was far too much going on in the illustrations. Plus there is only one flap on each spread, so not much for him to interact with. I shall put it away and think about bringing it out again in 18 months or so. However, I’m not sure I approve of made-up words like ‘mices’ and ‘beddy’ being used just for the sake of completing a rhyme. So maybe it will stay in the drawer.Thanks for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful. Check out my profile page for more reviews of toddler books, puzzles and educational toys and games.

Loved this as it’s the pop-up book version rather than the Lift-the-flap book (my children absolutely loved it a few years ago but ours got destroyed from so much use & excitement!) - & I wanted to pass the fun onto my little Nephew.The new price was extautionate/ unavailable from anywhere, so I went for the used (good condition), and was pleasantly surprised, only 1 little tear which I was able to fix easily and 1 other little missing bit, but it won’t spoil the fun.This pop-up version has on each page something to pull, look into, turn or find.

My daughter (4) foes like this book, but it doesn't really keep her attention too much. The rhymes seem a bit weak, like they're trying too hard, and they say stuff like "beddy" instead of bed, which my daughter found irritating.It is good quality and brightly coloured, the flaps lifted without ripping, I just felt it wasn't the best one they've done.

Beautiful book. This author is a firm favourite of ours. My grand daughter who was 10 months when I bought this, happily engages with the pictures which are bright and interesting, and very witty too!, as well as lifting the flaps on the pages to reveal hidden images. Good size for small hands to independently turn the pages, she babbles away while engaging in this book. Great value for money and quick delivery as always with Amazon.

My little boy loved this book and read it every night before bed for months. He still goes back to it but as with all books like this, the popup bits are easily torn by little hands so it's looking a little tatty now. Thankfully, it was really reasonably priced and if we needed another, it'd hardly break the bank to get another one.The illustrations and colour, plus the rhyming words make this a lovely book to read as well as (I imagine) to listen to. My son gets really involved in the scroll parts (there's a food elevator where it shows different horrid food which he shouts out "how disgusting", "YUCK", "No way!" which is really funny.I'd recommend this to any parent for bedtime reading.
