The Bedtime Bear: A Pop-Up Book for Bedtime

I LOVE this book, my dad read it to me as a kid. He gave me the copy to read to my daughter but my ex room mate stole the copy.So I found this, and while it’s the same book I was disappointed. Some of the pieces didn’t work properly on the pull tab. The spinning wheel for the menu at the mouse motel was not even attached. I was pretty disappointed and so was my kiddo.

Very disappointed. This book is not like the old edition which had many more activities. This book just has flaps to lift.

This pop up book is perfect for the pre school child. Great pop ups and very cute story. My grandson loves it and looks at it every day. A WORD OF WARNING THOUGH. I BOUGHT THIS FROM A SELLER CALLED THE THE BOOK DEPOSITORY. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. CONTACTED THE SELLER ABOUT THE BOOK BEING SENT FROM THE UK WHICH WAS NOT WHAT IT SAID ON THE SELLER'S INFO AND FEEDBACK SITE. WHAT IT DID SAY WAS THAT IT WAS BEING SENT FROM DELAWARE. I BOUGHT THE BOOK BASED ON THE FACT THAT IT WAS BEING SHIPPED FROM THE US. I THEN FIND OUT AFTER MANY E MAILS THAT IT HAS BEEN SHIPPED FROM THE UK. AFTER MANY WEEKS OF WAITING THE BOOK FINALLY ARRIVED. THIS INFO HAS SINCE BEEN TAKEN OFF OF THE SELLER'S SITE. BECAUSE OF THIS THE BOOK WAS VERY LATE TO ARRIVE AND MY GRANDSON WAS VERY DISSAPPOINTED ABOUT NOT GETTING IT ON TIME. CONTACED SELLER AND RECEIVED NO CUSTOMER SERVICE INSTEAD I WAS GIVEN STUPID EXCUSES AND APOLOGIES. I THEN CONTACTED AMAZON'S CUST SVC AND THEY GAVE ME A CREDIT FOR THE AMOUNT OF THE BOOK WHICH I USED ON AMAZON TO BUY AN ADDITIONAL ITEM. READ THIS SELLER'S NEGATIVE FEEDBACK AND THEN DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO REGARDING PURCHASING FROM HIM. ADMITTEDLY HE HAS A LOT OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK, BUT THE NEGATIVE IS EXTERMELY IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER SINCE THE COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS ARE FOR THE SAME REASONS. FIRST TIME I HAD A PROBLEM WITH A MARKETPLACE SELLER. KUDOS TO AMAZON FOR GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. UNFORTUNATEY THIS SELLER GIVES AMAZON A BAD NAME SINCE AMAZON IS ALLOWING THEM TO SELL ON THEIR WEBSITE DESPITE THE SELLER'S DECEPTIVE WAY OF DOING BUSINESS. HOPEFULLY AFTER AMAZON INVESTIGATES THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS LISTED IN HIS FEEDBACK, THEY WILL GET RID OF HIM. DON'T BE MISLED BY ALL THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK, READ THE NEGATIVE AS WELL. I highly recommend this book but do not under any circcumstances buy it or anything else from THE BOOK DEPOSITORY.

This wonderful book was the favorite of my 2 granddaughters for years. The story is sweet & the wheels & pulltabs are fun. It was the 1st one they chose for bedtime reading every time they slept over. I bought it as a baby shower gift.

A great book to make memories with your child. My child is grown now, but I bought her a copy so she could enjoy the memorys with her child like I did with her

Love this book. I got this for my son 20years who. I now purchased this one for my granddaughter

This is my kids favorite book. They absolutely love it. Great buy!

I buy this book for every new baby in the family or with friends. My kids loved it. Wish i could find it in hardback like the one i received 17 years ago for my son.

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.

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.

Disappointed as I thought I was getting a hard back version of the paper back I have with all the wheels and pull tabs that the kids love. It was just a lift flap version, no where near as nice! It was a gift and too late to change it. Still they same story so hopefully they will enjoy it.

This version only has one flap each page. It is missing alot of lift flaps compared to other versions I have seen. Very disappointed.

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.
