First, CONGRATULATIONS to Amy! She won last week’s giveaway for a $5 credit to ecobags.com!
This week we are reviewing 4 infant/toddler books
everybaby: eebee’s adventures
Chrissy and I each received 4 books (a full set) from everybaby!
- laundry time
- have a ball
- bath time hug and splash (2 book set)
- peekaboo
The package states the books are for ages 9-36 months. Our children are nearly the same ages, 16 mos and 20 mos (both girls) and two will be 3 years old in a week (one boy and one girl)!
The retail price is $14.95 (USD)
What we liked:
-
The books are hands-on, interactive
-
They teach practical concepts
-
They are bright and fun to look at and despite the goofy sounding name, the kids picked it up quite fast! Maybe it just sounds odd to an adult!
-
The little girls liked the books a lot!
What we did not like
- The price! It’s lower than other books of this type that I’ve seen for sale (for $25) but still a lot for us!
- The age range is a bit of a stretch. We both have a 3 year old and they were pretty quickly bored of the book once they looked through it twice.
- The bathtime adventures book is meant to be used in the tub with water – it squirts water out from a pocket inside each page…I have serious mold concerns with that one. We haven’t even taken it in the tub yet!
- Some of the interactive sliders/baskets in the “have a ball book” seemed like they’d be torn pretty easily (especially if a 3 year old is playing with them!)
Would we buy it?
We might, if the price were a little lower. That’s really the only thing holding us back. They are cute and teach simple yet relevant concepts to small children in a fun way. We’d likely buy them for a child 9-18 mos old but not much older. By 24 mos they are really able to DO these things in real life so the book is not so entertaining to them.
