Cute but lacked "purpose"
352114
Each and every day, billions of human beings ponder the purpose of their lives. Why are we here? What are we supposed to do? But, have you ever stopped to think that maybe our pets are asking the same thing too..? In A Dogs Purpose, through each life of the dog, the meaning of their life becomes more clear. Each life helps them understand the true essence of what it means to be alive. The perspective of purpose through the innocent lense of an animal helps us better understand how to become more capable human beings. As Bailey puts it, Humans [are] capable of so many amazing things, but too often they just [sit] making words, not doing anything (Cameron). It may just take a dog to show us how to find the true meaning in our life.
  I decided to read A Dogs Purpose by author W. Bruce Cameron, because of its new movie adaption. Going into it, I imagined a book full of meaning and purpose. The beginning proved to be very lackluster and did not draw me into the plot. The dogs first life as Toby, was not interesting enough to make you feel the need to continue reading. Also, the only true connection I felt throughout the book, was with Bailey. After the dogs life as Bailey, I felt myself missing the old plot and becoming uninterested. The only deep meaning I picked up from this book, took place at the very end, when he connected his purposes. Overall, I found that the true meaning was lost and watered down with useless plot.
  In short, this book would be a great read for a middle school aged child. It wasn't deep enough to satisfy a deep level thinker, but it was a very refreshing, light-hearted read. It was enjoyable and I would totally recommend reading it before the movie for the sake of comparison. Despite not loving it, I think anyone could get something out of this read. It is emotional and provides a new and interesting perspective on life. Every living thing has a purpose, and were all here trying to figure out what it is even dogs.

If you are buying this item as a door stopper, it does not have the weight nor the substance on the stopper part to actually hold a door open.  It needs to have more of a wedge to it to get under the door.  Additionally, there is not padding (rubber or felt) on the bottom, so not only does the product slide it also can scratch tile or wood floors.

It is definitely cute, and if you want to use it on carpet for a door you don't move often, it makes a nice statement.  The product is well-made, just doesn't provide the function for which we bought it.

More decorative than useful for real play. The "stick" is very short. Maybe good for the very young, but I think the point is to have something to hang on the wall more than it is to play with.

This does not feel strong enough to protect the phone if it is dropped; somewhat flimsy.  Also, it provided no protection for the camera lens, therefore I had to return it as it is very expensive to provide so little protection.  The raised edge would protect  the screen when laid on a surface, but would not expect to help much if the phone is dropped.  It was easy to put on the phone, and cute, but I need more than cute.

Bought this as a gift for niece based on reviews.  It is a cute toy, but I feel that putting a play lipstick as a toy is questionable since this is for toddlers. Do we really want to be teaching our toddlers that they need to be wearing lipstick?  I know girls like to mimic their moms, but I think it would have been more appropriate to include a checkbook or notepad and pen, or even a little stuffed animal instead.  There will be plenty of time for makeup without pushing it on a toddler.

Super cute, but it requires mini staples which is not going to cut it for the jobs I need to use it for. Also, it does not appear that it will stand up to a lot. It's not made of heavy duty plastic. I returned it, because despite it's adorable appearance, I didn't expect it to last long. If I'm going to pay $16 for a stapler, I want it to meet my needs and function well for a decent period of time.

This is a really cute idea and it is a cute book and puppet but be advised that it is an extremely small book and the puppet didn't even fit on my 6 year old daughters thumb all the way.  I really didn't think it did anything to motivate her to quit sucking her thumb.  I had high hopes for it and chose to try this instead of the thumbbuster thing that they wear over their thumb because I thought this would be more positive, but she is still sucking as much as ever. I guess I just thought it would have more of a story to motivate her.

The cork board is surprisingly thin; a thumbtack can only go in about 1/3 of the way. Kind of makes stuff unsecured. I found the whole thing to be cute in theory but not that useful in practiced; its deceptively small, and then we never end up using the moving feature of the cork board; its kind of pointless. But that thin cork is really what bugs me.

This was a cute story and I enjoyed reading it, which, I guess is the point of reading, isn't it? But the setting and plot don't seem realistic, and at times, I did think a child could have written it. Also, there were references to things like "trash bags" that I didn't understand. They didn't have trash bags in the late 1800's did they? Also, all the talk of sex (literally, the word "sex") seems out of place. And I would enjoy the book better without the explicit sex scenes. Still, I do continue to read Ms. Nordin's books because they are easy, light reading when I am tired and just want to be entertained.

Cute but I did not expect it to be hollow on the other side! Pictures don't reflect that at all. :-/

cute, but thin. Can't actually be used - decorative only.

These are really cute, but lack much function. I am all for children using their imagination in play, but if one is going to buy a "toy" it should offer some interactive ability. It is too bulky for the assigned age group, the baby cannot grip the nesting box pieces to put them together and having a parent do it doesn't making it any move exciting. A much better toy for the 4- 6 month and up age is the Tiny Love Musical Stack & Play.

I bought it cause I thought it would be super cute for casual use but it's way to soft. I didn't feel comfortable or safe with the baby in it. It was a bit complicated to put on also, so I returned it. Bummer because it would have been super cute with jeans for walks. The appearance is cute, just not practical.

Cute - not really built for comfort of course. Could use a back strap, that might help.

It looks cute and I wouldn't critic it too much if the purpose of this cover would be just a fashion dress up for the otherwise plain black phone. The cover is too thin and does not fit snugly on the phone. I gave it 2 stars because the cover doesn't serve its main purpose at all - to prevent the phone from the damage.

Cute but awkward to use. I wouldn't buy it again.

These are very cute but I couldn't figure out how to connect it together and the way that I did it didn't hold up.  Instructions leave a lot to be desired.  But, what do you expect for $3.00.
