Ben Gives Up His Dummy: The book that makes children want to move on from dummies! Paperback – Large Print, 29 Feb. 2016

We read it few times before getting read of the pacifier

This book was very helpful when getting our little one to give up his dummy. He loved it! We read it ALOT.Lovely story & illustrations.Really helped to cement what we had already told him.Would definitely recommend.

Thought it was a hard back .

Our 3 year old really enjoyed this book, so much that after the 2nd time of reading he also wanted to give his dummy to the dummy fairy.......but bottle out. We persevered and carried on reading, we had a couple more failed attempts at giving his dummies up, we got as far as putting them all in an envelope but they slowly came back out. He eventually gave them up but only after we gave up reading the book and in his own time. Could work for other children but didn't for us.

I was a bit sceptical about this book, but honestly after reading it every evening for about 3 weeks and changing the name Ben to my son’s name while reading he handed me his dummy and 4 nights on he has not asked for it. He will be 3 in November and he only used his dummy at night and naps but now we are dummy free. It took him a bit longer to fall asleep first night, next evening he didn’t asked for it and in the morning he was so made up when he got a big dinosaur toy to remind him that he gave away his dummy to dummy fairy. The best money I ever spent on book. No crying, no tantrums over the dummy. Very happy mummy and daddy. :)

NIce book. Great idea but it was just too fanciful for it to be useful to us. The boy gives his dummy up to the fairies and actually wakes up and meets the fairy. This set up the expectation that our son would get to meet a fairy of he gave up his dummy! We had to explain this wouldn't actually happen and it’s just pretend. Defeating the object of the book.

This book has been a great help. Read it for 2 weeks at bed time. Once the gift had arrived we put the dummy where the book suggested and once asleep it was replaced with the gift.It has been 2 weeks now and the dummy is a thing of the past. He really did love a dummy, but it’s gone without a fuss.

Really like this book. Still haven't managed to get rid of the dummies but it has sparked conversation about being too big for them etc
