Every book deserves its own cover, and I would think they're MUCH easier for little hands to hold! Plus, the combos usually include about half good stories/books, and the other half filler stuff, the stuff that isn't quite as good, that I wouldn't buy otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-combo-books#post-485766 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 11:38:56 +0000 Bao 485766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have maybe 7 combo books, I do prefer individual books but meh, whatever :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-combo-books#post-485764 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 11:38:41 +0000 prettylizy 485764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a closet bibliophile so I just love having all the little books in a row with their titles showing. While combo books are good for travel, I'd always choose a regular book instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-combo-books#post-485758 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 11:36:41 +0000 ladyfingers 485758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-combo-books#post-485288 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 08:02:52 +0000 Cole 485288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like some of the anthologies but more for 4 and up, they are a good introduction to tables of contents and the kids get a kick out of choosing which story. When they are younger though it is just a pain and often they are clunky. Plus it takes awhile until they understand they are different stories not more of one that you chose to skip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-combo-books#post-485279 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 07:58:40 +0000 heffalump 485279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I'd mind it for when she's older. But now that she has such a short attention span she needs one short book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-combo-books#post-485146 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 03:31:04 +0000 Sweet T 485146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ick. Not a fan. We do have one combo book that has a bunch of classic short stories in it (3 little pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, etc). I think that would be the only one I like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-combo-books#post-485144 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 03:29:43 +0000 autumnlove 485144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like them and I prefer 6 books instead of one big book. I guess I think every book deserves a nice cover!</p> <p>[attach=1791/13/mg8y9k.450x600.image.jpg] </p>
