Customer Reviews

5 year old daughter loves it
I bought this after buying some other games for my daughter that she found frustrating due to the amount of reading involved or difficulty level. This is an easy game, simple for her to use on her own, and she absolutely loves it. Finding good games for a 5 year old girl is challenging, but this one hits the mark. I highly recommend this for anyone trying to find a cute, fun, easy and entertaining game for their young children. I would say this game is perfect for 4-7 year olds.

Hours of Fun!!!
I have a 6yr old little girl and she just can't get enough of this game. Very easy yet entertaining for the older kids. Looks geared more towards the girls but has bears for the boys and many features if you have more than one DS. Very worth the full price and a major deal if you get it on sale because it was well worth it. My daughter's favorite parts are being able to cook for her bear (a little like cooking mama) she likes to bathe him and put his clothes on and you can even swing him on the swings. I'm an adult and she's had me play and the only thing I found is it can be a bit monotonous which is why I recommend this from age 3 to 8.

Very Build A Bear
This is a very cute game for any child who loves Build A Bear. That's exactly what you do: select a companion and "build" him/her just as you would at a store. Your child will need some reading skills or be prepared to read along with them as they play. The game is very easy to learn.
