A parent might reach for this book when their toddler is transitioning from a high chair to more independent eating or when mealtime has become a source of frustration. This tactile board book serves as a gentle bridge between being fed and feeding oneself. It uses a friendly bear protagonist to model the mechanics and joy of using a spoon and cup. The book focuses on the sense of pride and accomplishment that comes with self-care. It is perfectly suited for children aged 6 to 36 months who are developing fine motor skills and a sense of autonomy. By showing a familiar character navigating first foods with curiosity and success, it encourages little explorers to view mealtime as an exciting opportunity for independence rather than a messy chore.
