Pat the Bunny (Touch and Feel Book)

My son does love this book...especially the peek-a-boo page. However, I don't know why it's not constructed better. This book was about $10, and the pages are a thick paper instead of board book material. Since this book is geared towards the little ones, they really should make this into a board book. How much more expensive can that be? There are other touch and feel books that are board books that sell for $5 or $6.

This little book which I bought on impulse turned out to be the best of the activity books for my son, now 13 months old. He is easily distracted and this book (coupled with his father's additional stories about the bunny) helps him stay focused and stimulates imagination. It is also very helpful at the evening meals, when he is so fascinated that even the tiredness does not make him fuss over his cereal. He literally screams in delight whenever we take the book out.
The simple drawings, mild colors and especially soft fur of the bunny make this book an essential for every baby. I cannot recommend it strong enough. A classic, it will sure be a great gift for many generations of babies.

This is such a timeless classic! However, I do have a complaint regarding the packing -- the box was broken on one corner, resulting in a bent page. Perhaps some bubble wrap would help in future mailings of this book and others that come in their own box.

Pat the Bunny is the best first book to read to your baby. My daughter is fascinated by the bunny and the beard. If you receive two copies at your baby shower like I did, keep both because it will be loved to bits.

Overall just kind of cheap feeling. I'm pretty sure my daughter will destoy this soon. The bunny fur already came off in big clumps with the first pat. I would return it but who has the time as a busy mom??
