They're probably bring a tad optimistic when describing this deluxe edition of the classic baby sensory book as sturdy and remains a keepsake for generations.Īny parent wants to introduce their children to books at a young age, though they don't fully understand that bending and biting the latest picture book means they won't last 5 minutes! Especially because that page looks like "Touch Dad's Scratchy Birthmark." but tactile books are always great when you're super tiny, and this is the classic.įun note - my partner logged onto Amazon the other day, and thanks to her wildly divergent wish-list, was recommended "Pat the Bunny" and "Pedagogy of the Oppressed." I think there's a message in there somewhere, something with neo-colonial attitude towards animals, but I'll leave that for another time. And why is the entire book called "Pat the Bunny" when the bunny gets one page? Why isn't it called "Touch Dad's Scratchy Face?" Okay, that book wouldn't be a kid's classic sixty years later. And if you look at it for a while, the bunny in Pat the Bunny is sort of freaky looking.
Well, we did own Marshmallow (or Thumbalina, depending on which kid you asked - there'd been a disagreement over who had the right to name the rabbit), but we didn't pat it all that often. Is that a normal childhood activity, patting bunnies? I don't remember patting that many bunnies. How cool is that? All the activities in the book are things kids do - except patting the bunny. I don't know if one can review this book. Can you wave bye-bye to Paul and Judy? Paul and Judy will be back for your child's child. Written in 1940, Pat the Bunny was the progenitor of a whole series of touchy children's books, reaching their unholy apex with the That's Not My. Who is this story about? Is it Paul and Judy? Is it the bunny? Is it you? How big is bunny? Soooooooo big! Bunny is vaguely menacing, especially in Judy's book within a book that, like Arabian Nights or If On a Winter's Night a Traveler, expands and undermines the universe of the book we're reading. (He seems to gravitate towards ones that smell like grandmothers.) Daddy is.well, Daddy is pretty.īunny is big. Oh, it's those horrendous flowers of Paul's, you'll think. One day you're going to open a box of your childhood toys and smell this book.
