Here’s the ideal travel book or Christmas stocking stuffer for preschoolers. This sturdy little board book will slide easily into a purse or carry-on bag and provide some fun, interactive reading for your child.

On the cover of the book you’ll find an actual stuffed Pooh bear. I’d suggest you don’t try to remove it, but if you are careful you should be able to do so. The bear is there so that the youngster can touch parts of its anatomy as you read the story. For example, you’ll be asked to rub Pooh’s tummy and tickle his toes as the simple story unfolds.

Combining a small stuffed bear with the picture book makes this a gift that can be used in a number of different ways. If you are a little creative you can suggest ways your child can move beyond the story. You might suggest the youngster tell Pooh a story that he or she makes up or explain to him where you might be traveling to or who will greet you upon your arrival.
