Selected User Reviews For The Very Hungry Caterpillar Tall Bookends from The World of Eric Carle (Set of 2), 4.75"
For being adorable, these get three stars. However, as bookends, they are largely ineffective. They're tiny and only keep the books in place if they're not removed; otherwise, they slide around on the cabinet, causing the rest of the books to fall over. I'm keeping these, but I'll need to buy a new set of bookends to secure them so they can be used in my classroom. I would have returned them if I didn't have an Eric Carle theme in my preschool classroom.
These bookends are adorably adorable. However, as others have stated, there should be some light. I purchased inexpensive metal bookends to hold the books (I'm using them in my kitchen for cookbooks). which are quite large and heavy) and have placed these on the ends primarily for ornamental purposes. They're still my favorite!.
I adore this because it's based on one of my favorite childhood stories. It's lovely and well-made, but it's not heavy enough to hold books together securely. I was disappointed.
These are primarily decorative, as they are far too light to support any books.
Beautiful, sturdy bookends that will add a pop of color to any shelf. It's ideal for storing your photo books.
They're adorable, but they're not very good at holding books.
My package was also damaged when it arrived. It's super cute, but I'm disappointed that I paid so much for it and it arrived broken.
These piqued the interest of my toddler. She dropped it the first time (from about halfway up a toddler's height, so maybe 1. 5 ft), with a cracked face. We glued it together, and then she played with the back end, causing it to break into tiny pieces.
