What parents, grandparents, and teachers are saying: "Too cute! Would highly recommend!" "I bought this to add to my arsenal of toddler entertainment before I flew with my then 17-month-old daughter for twenty hours. Teddy, along with his family, got us through some portions of those flights when it felt like time was standing still. Teddy can sit at a table and eat a meal, brush his teeth, have a bath (with ducky) and towel off, sit on Daddy's lap for story time, give Mama a hug and then cuddle down in his bed with little teddy and go to sleep. The fact that Teddy can accomplish all this while still attached to the book is a blessing when you are in a plane or a car, so, unlike with some other toys, you don't spend time bumping your head and scrabbling around in the most undignified manner under seats while your toddler makes her disapproval known in no uncertain terms." "This book is adorable and a part of our bedtime ritual. I purchased when my son was 6-month-old and he loves it. The book is colorful and bright and in a good size. The story is cute, short, and you get to move the teddy bear through each page. On each page there's a place and an activity for Him: eat dinner, brush teeth with a detachable toothbrush, take a bath in the tub with a detachable ducky and put his pajamas on, reads a book on daddy lap and gets a hug from mom, then go to bed with his own little teddy bear. The fabric is good quality and durable, I washed it gentle and dried" "This is the absolute cutest soft book I have ever seen. It's excellent quality throughout and has the cleverest ways to manipulate the little bear on every page. I can't wait to give it to my grandson Teddy to read to his baby sister!"
