Playskool Glo Friends Stink or Swim! -- Storytime with Bookworm -- Book with Glowing Toy -- Social Emotional Learning SEL Toy -- Ages 2+

Very disappointed with this. The day we took it out of the box, the battery cover popped off.

The size was quite different than what was pictured

More books and more glow friends

The glowing friend is definitely what sells this set. The story is okay, but it seems to lack a bit for me. The pictures are cute and there are a couple good messages in it at least. The book is not very durable. It has a thin binding that I don't think is going to last long around little kids. This is the type of book that we usually have pages falling out of pretty quickly. However, it is really nice that it is accompanied with a friend from the story that you can hold and play with. The bookworm is very cute and the light is a really good glow. You give it a little squeeze to turn off and on, but it can be a little difficult to do. If your child is very young they will probably need some help there. You can squeeze it once for a strong glow and if you squeeze it again it has a more faint glow. One more squeeze turns it back off. The texture and size of the glow worm is great for young children. This would make a cute gift for a young child and I think it would be fun to collect a set of all the friends.

Let me start by saying I think this is a great idea and the artwork in the book is very well done! The little glow toy came with a working battery and my son loved to turn it on and off by squeezing his stomach. On the book side of things I see what they were trying to do with the message but I believe it’s not a very clear delivery in my opinion. My son just ended up enjoying the glow bug that came with the book.
