Pleasant surprise! Great Message

This book has such a great message. Our two boys (5 and 2) love it when their Dad reads it to them. The moral is about being a good leader and having confidence in yourself.

Shipping an issue

This book is beautiful but for some unknown reason it was placed in a thin plastic bag and delivered with the bag completely ripped open across the front of the book. The book was ungiveable. We were so disappointed but of course no response from anyone and no offer to ship it correctly or even a $1 coupon. I shop a lot on this site and was just shocked at the packaging to the lack of response. Buy at your own risk

Best Book for Dads

I told my niece this would be a good book for her husband to read to their new son. When the book arrived, she said it would be perfect for the two of them!

Baby Loves Rory

I purchased this book for my baby girl and have been reading it to her every night for a few weeks. She absolutely loves the little lion Rory and she gets super excited when she sees him on the pages. I also purchased the stuffed animal and she does not take a nap or go to sleep without him. It's a sweet story and I don't mind reading it every night.

Our favorite book to read!

This book is adorable and contains a great message to younger kids! My almost two year old loves the rhyming and illustrations. So happy we got this book.

Not what I had hoped for in terms of the story.

I was disappointed in the story. It was a bit off putting with its first born son theme. I wasn't able to read it before buying as a gift for my nephew as I bought it online. I had higher hopes. The cover looked so cute.

perfect present for baby shower

Really cute book to give for a baby shower. Only con is the pick up order preparation took days to be ready for pick up — other stores seem to have a better process for getting items ready within hours or a day from when customer orders.

Very Poor Presentatiom

Sad to say, I conquer with the negative reviews. I purchased the book as a Shower gift, and I was extremely embarrassed when it was opened. The story could have been a satisfactory read. However it was difficult to get past the unsatisfactory contents.
