Miss Rachel book (i think?)

"The book is quite long which my daughter loves and is helping her with so many things like learning to share and potty training. Miss Rachel is a gem and my daughter has been a big fan since day 1"

Joel (5/5)

What's in the. . . . . review!!!

"My daughter, who is a big Ms. Rachel fan absolutely adores this book. It's great to see her recognize the words and phrases and see her face light up from my own voice reading them to her. She also enjoys the illustrations."

Madeline (5/5)

Good if you love Ms. Rachel

"For Ms. Rachel lovers this book is excellent! It gets our daughter interacting with us. I do wish there were a few more interactive parts in the actual book other than just the one mirror at the end, but it is cute and we have fun reading it and singing together."

Duddley (4/5)

Ms Rachel's Surprise book review

"Very cute book & great for ms Rachel fans. Definitely goes well with her surprise box video too to help baby learn the connection that they are related."

Deni (5/5)

Best book ever!

"My daughter is obsessed with Ms. Rachel, so this book was a must when we saw it in store. We read it multiple times a day, and she has loved every minute of it. It teaches and educates both kids and parents, while being a bit of a self love book in the end."

Morg (5/5)

Toddlers favourite book

"We read this book every night. My daughter loves to sing the songs and interact with the book. 10/10 we love it"

Ally (5/5)

A familiar face to keep your littles happy!

"If your littles love Ms. Rachel like mine do, you will be happy with this book. It has her most popular songs and phrases which everyone can sing along to! It’s a great, positive book to keep toddlers happy and engaged."

Miss R. (5/5)

Bright, colourful book for littles

"Ms. Rachel just might be the reincarnation of Fred Rogers. Wholesome and welcoming, educational, yet fun. Even my older child is entertained by her. But this book is for the toddler, who hasn't received it yet (Christmas gift). However, flipping through, it shows the same care that Ms. Rachel shows everything else. It's bright, colourful, and includes song lyrics."

KimiD (5/5)

Miss Rachel and the special Surprise is fun as well when you get to the page with the mirror ! Toddlers love to look into them lol

"My son loves the book! Especially because he is a fan of watching her videos! He sings and claps when he recognizes some of these things from watching her on youtube!"

Maura (5/5)

Good book

"Good alternate to the videos. My daughter gets excited about reading with this"
