Book and Beanie Baby Set Saves the Day!
Not released in time for Christmas, this book and beannie baby set would likely make a great birthday gift, or celebratory treat for any "Wonder Pets!" fan. "What's going to work? TEAMWORK!" proudly proclaims the box of this set, which serves the perfect holder for what's within.
Including is the board book "Teamwork Saves the Day!" and a Ty Beanie Baby of one of the show's three star characters, Ming-Ming Duckling. The book is cute enough, if a bit short. I don't think really much more can be expected, though -- the show is targeted at young audiences, and the book gives just enough to satisfy. It's a simple retelling of a story in which the Wonder Pets save a baby lamb. The beanie baby, however, is a treat fans are sure to love. Of course, the decision will have to made whether to leave her in the case or take her out (maybe buy two?), but young fans of the show will likely want to play with and cuddle her. She's very soft and ucddly, comes wearing her hat and cape, and features a tag certifying her as an "Original Beanie Baby" and featuring the Nick Jr. "Wonder Pets!" logo.
All-in-all, it's great that Nick Jr. has finally started releasing some proper merchandise for this series. I look forward to maybe seeing a Ty or plush Linny, as guinea pigs are my personal favorite. But Ming-Ming will serve as a "weally good" substitute in the meantime.
Not worth it
While it's great to finally see some Wonder Pets merchandise available, this package is seriously underwhelming. What you can't tell from the product picture is that these items are super small.
First of all, the Ming Ming beanie baby isn't really a full size beanie, it's more like one of those mini beanies Ty usually sells for Christmas stocking stuffers. It's suitably plush and well-crafted, just not the size I expected.
The book is also extremely slight, measuring only 5 1/2" x 4" and with just 10 interior pages. Sure, it fits little hands or your pocket well and it seems to be a fairly sturdy and cute board book, but it's hard to imagine it carrying more than a $3.99 price point if it was sold separately.
The combined package is really priced at about twice what it should be considering what you get. My little one is pleased with the final results, but you'll likely feel somewhat ripped off.
Small But Made My Baby Happy
I was a little shocked how small the doll was. The book was also tiny. My son loved it though and, I guess that's all that matter's.
