Book/CD Review By Courtney from www.oneboredmommy.com,

We are trying the best we can to instill in our children the fact that, even in this tough day and age, they are SOMEBODY in this world to my husband and me. Despite their size, their age, their color, their circumstances, etc. they are important to us and to GOD and we will always love them exactly how they are. THEY MATTER to us, NO MATTER WHAT! Because this is one of our goals as parents, to team up with businesses like ThumbPeople to help us in achieving what we started out to do, in raising our kids. Meet Thumbuddy. Yes...he\'s a special little guy, because he = you, your child, anybody for that matter. As you read along in the stories about him/her, you can replace Thumbuddy with that person and it really does make a child feel good (even an adult for that matter). Thumbuddy is special, regardless of his circumstances because he is a miracle, a gift given to his mommy and daddy and this world to treasure & love. 

Quoting from the book I\'ll Always Love My Thumbuddy:

I\'ll always love my Thumbuddy,
It\'s a promise I make to you;
Forever and ever, eternally,
I\'ll always have love for you.

We (the kids and I) got the pleasure of reviewing two of their fantastic books and one of their CD\'s. I adore the books. ABSOLUTELY ADORE THEM! They are amazingly written, they hold a child\'s interest and have such a wonderful message. We read the books through twice, once with \"Thumbuddy\" as the main character and then once with \"Payton\" as the main character. She ATE IT UP! Since she\'s only three...I think that reading these books can really make an impression on the person she will become someday! It\'s nice to know that I can be giving her some reinforcement and encouragement in believing in herself and loving who she is as a person.

ThumbPeople offer several amazing and uplifting books for parents to interact and read with their children. Their business is one of encouragement and hope. Offering children the opportunity to realize that no matter what, they are special because they are SOMEBODY \"fearfully and wonderfully made\"!

I would really recommend you check out this company and I encourage you to purchase a few books for your children or grandchildren. It really might make a difference in how they see themselves, how they grow up feeling about who they are, etc. Self esteem and self image are important things to keep in check and to feel good about and I really believe this company understands that and that is why they created THUMBUDDY! Thank you so much ThumbPeople for introducing us to THUMBUDDY and giving our family a few uplifting books to read with our kids. All four of them will enjoy hearing just how special they are to us and GOD too.

“I loved the positive messages sent forth in these books and CD! With so much trash out there for kids, I find it especially refreshing to see something that is not only kid-friendly and mom-approved, but really emphasizes the unique qualities of every child and the unconditional love between parent and child. The books are precious and sentimental and the CD will have you and your child singing along in no time. I used these in our church nursery recently and received rave reviews from both kids and parents! The kids LOVED hearing their names in the stories and the parents were touched by the personal time that was spent with each child as they were being read to. I found that each child also loved to find the "hidden" butterfly on each page as we read the stories. The preschoolers also love the CD and were begging to hear it again and again!

I highly recommend all of the Thumbuddy titles. They will be showing up in baby shower and birthday gifts around here for years to come. After all, there is no greater gift than quality time spent with your child.”

Book/CD Review by Kate from www.theshoppingmama.com,

f your toddler is anything like mine, books are a large part of your day. We always read several books at night before bed, but stories are also requested randomly throughout the day. It\'s always fun to discover new characters and books so we were excited to get a couple Thumbuddy books to enjoy. We received I\'ll Always Love My Thumbuddy and the board book Thumbuddy, Thumbuddy, I Love You!

The Thumbuddy series written by Mark Arens stars a sweet little thumb character who actually represents your child. The books praise and affirm your child throughout with lines like \"Thumbuddy, Thumbuddy, you are huggable! Thumbuddy, Thumbuddy, truly so loveable!\" (from Thumbuddy, Thumbuddy I Love You).

The coolest part about the Thumbuddy series is that after you read the book once, you read it again and replace your child\'s name with Thumbuddy\'s name. The book then becomes a sweet love story from you to your little one. I think I enjoyed this more than Toddler Boy! I honestly find it to be such a nice way to tell my little guy how much I love him - sentiments that can easily get lost in a day of dirty diapers, toys throwing and tantrums.

\"I\'ll always love my Thumbuddy,
No matter what you do;
Good or bad or in between,
You\'re my special you.\"

In addition to the collection of seven books, Thumbpeople also offers music CDs so you can boogie to the sweet sentiments of Thumbuddy. We have the You are Thumbuddy CD which has original lyrics set to fun, familiar childhood songs.
