This book is all at once creative, educational, fun and endearing. A truly interactive reading experience, this is a storybook that plays back your recorded voice as your child turns each page. The directions for making the recording are quite easy to follow and you can re-record as many times as you like. The story itself is wonderful and touching. It tells the tale of two bears that miss each other when they are separated. Expressing feelings like this is a wonderful lesson and several parents noted that it matched what was being taught in school. The book itself is durable with thick pages yet lightweight enough to ship, making this a marvelously personal gift to give.
