Book Reviews of Fuzzy Bee and Friends (Cloth Books)
Book Review: Great Baby book
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this and the little chick cloth books as a gift when my daughter was born. She has loved both of them since she was about 3 months. She loves them even more now that she is 6 month old. I took one to the babysitter and left one at home. Her babysitter says she often pulls that one out of her box to play with. She loves to rub the different textures and of course scrunch the front covers. I would recommend this to anyone!Book Review: Simply the BEST Cloth Book We Could Find! Fun, Fun, Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
FUZZY BEE AND FRIENDS is an excellent cloth book. I went shopping for a cloth book early on, when my baby had gotten the idea of turning pages but could not easily turn the pages in a board book. We looked at a lot of not-so-fun cloth books, Finally we found FUZZY BEE. We have both gotten hours of fun out of reaidng book!
FUZZY BEE AND FRIENDS features nine interactive illustrations (including the fuzzy bee on the crinkly-sounding cover). Each page has a simple, brightly colored illustration with something interesting to touch.
FUZZY BEE AND FRIENDS also features better-than-average text. A number of the cloth books we saw had text that was pretty lame. FUZZY BEE has two rhythmic, rhymed lines on each page. There is no ongoing story, but each pair of lines gives you a little bit os story about the character on the page.
Our favorite pages in FUZZY BEE AND FRIENDS: the beetle bug, who has two blue iridescent wings that both move; the butterfly with a red satin wing you can move; the spider who has eight black legs you can play with (our baby especially loved this when learning to pinch); and a dragonfly with four soft netting wings (great for grasping and also sucking on). Only a couple of pages get skipped over quickly when my baby turns the pages.
My baby is 11 months old and has been enjoying this book for 5-6 months now. He is now more likely to pull out a board book, but still clearly enjoys this one occasionally. A friend of ours who is a year older found the rhyme and the new words (names of insects) enough fun that we read it a number of times.
I have looked at Priddy's other cloth books, and none is quite as good as FUZZY BEE AND FRIENDS. If you only get one cloth book, make it this one. Oh, and this would be a fabulous shower gift. FUZZY BEE is not so famous that anyone is likely to get several copies, and it is a fun, useful book.
Buy and enjoy!
Book Review: Happy hours for mom and baby!
Summary: 5 Stars
My son has several of the Roger Priddy "... and Friends" books and he really loves them all. This one is a particular favorite because of its great variety of textures and flaps. The colors are so bright and contrasty, especially the bee on the cover, and that really appeals to the under-1 set.
The dragonfly (with translucent "wings" that the reader can grab) and the beetle (with iridescent blue shells that can be lifted, manipulated, and lovingly gummed) are big hits. And all the "...and Friends" books feature the crinkly-sounding cover that babies can't get enough of. My son even enjoys opening and closing the velcro closure, which makes a fascinating sound all its own!
What I love most about these books is that I can leave them in the crib when my baby sleeps and not worry about having sharp things poking him, or having him choke on a loose part. I've found these books very sturdy and safe. I often wake up to find him already awake, sitting in his crib "reading" them quietly, and as a mother I can tell you that any book that can buy you a few minutes' extra sleep in the morning is worth its weight in platinum.
Book Review: Wonderful Book!

This is a great interactive book for our 5 month old. He loves to look at the bright colors, and I love that it is so well written. I'm tired of baby books with out words! This one keeps both my babies and my attention. Book Review: A terrific buy
Summary: 5 Stars
My three month old daughter loves this book. We can't even get past the cover b/c she loves the crinkling sound it makes. The colors are bright and vibrant, and its filled with lots of different textures as well...from the fuzz on the bee to the cordoroy on the worm, to the nylon on the dragonfly. I've also tested the covering over the snail and it seems very durable. I've tugged at it with all my might and it stays on just fine. I've even test-chewed a little and it seems like it could be chewed through, but it would take quite some time to do. The instruction tag says to "surface wash only" so that's what I do and the colors stay fine.
