I know, it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, though I’m slowly getting into the Christmas mood. However, when the book I’m about to review arrived at my door step, I proceeded to read it to my son that night. By the time we finished the book, I was ready to pull out the tree and start decorating!
The We Do Listen Foundation generously sent me a copy of their book Howard B. Wigglebottom and the Power of Giving: A Christmas Story. Just like many of their products, this book follows Howard B. Wigglebottom, a super cute bunny rabbit on his journey of life, learning many lessons along the way. Not only is this book a fun Christmas theme read, but I love all the lessons taught! In this sweet story, little Howard realizes how happy he can make others by sharing and giving. At first he doesn’t like to share, but realizes what an unhappy bunny is keeping his toys from others. He eventually discovers the joy in sharing with others!
Mommy, can we read it again?!? |
Baby C absolutely loved “helping” to turn the pages and looking at the vibrant illustrations! While he may not understand the words now, I think this is a book he will learn to appreciate as he grows older and discovers the meaning of Christmas. Reading the book with your children gives you the opportunity to discuss not only the importance of giving, but topics such as homelessness, talking to strangers, paying attention, staying out of trouble, and of course, the spirit of Christmas.
The We Do Listen Foundation also offers other books starring Howard on lessons like learning to listen, dealing with bullies, good sportsmanship, telling the truth, and more! What a great series to share with your little ones!

I received complimentary product(s) to facilitate this review from the sponsoring company. This is 100% my own honest opinion. No one has influenced me otherwise and I was in no way compensated financially. This review is solely based on my own experience with this product.
Well now that the little man has reached the 7 month mark, his “baby” toys just don’t do it anymore. He needs sound, he needs action, and he needs something to keep his attention. Luckily Fisher-Price has created the perfect toy to fit his new found needs.
Another aspect I love about this toy is that it demonstrates cause and effect. At 7 months, Baby C is learning all about this. I show him when the music stops, to drop the ball in the tummy (when something touches in the yellow interior), and it starts back up! I also show him how when you drop the ball on the tail, it rolls down through the green door. The dino is also great for hand-eye coordination. While I can’t quite seem to get him to place the balls back, he has learned to reach in and pull one out. The balls are a perfect size for his little hands. In addition, he very much enjoys the spinning rattle on the front and playing with the little green door by the tail.Overall this is a great toy that helps encourage the development of your baby, or provides a ton of fun for your toddler. If you are looking for the perfect holiday gift for a child age 6 months to 3 years old, you should definitely consider Fisher Price’s Go Baby Go! Poppity Pop Musical Dinosaur!Buy It: The Go Baby Go!

Not only is the hardcover book durable, but the pages are as well! There is a high-quality to them, which includes a slight gloss. My little man as a tendency to want grab pages, and with this book, I knew his fast little hands wouldn’t do any damage. I loved the illustrations and my son couldn’t stop pointing out the vibrant red Carindal, one of the characters in the book. There is space at the beginning of the book to have a dedication printed. I think this was a wonderful touch for I See Me! to offer.Christmas isn’t the only theme that I See Me! offers. They have personalized books for birthdays, becoming a big brother/sister, adoption, baptism, and much more!
