 "*Very cute bear. Soft and fuzzy!"

"Just as cute as my first one!"

"Beautiful bear. Speaks Italian perfectly, as described. I love it and so will my son."

"Ok...gotta tell ya...this bear is the cutest !!! I'm amazed at how clear the voice is that speaks...and my 1 yr. old is fascinated, because the voice sounds like that of another child ! I'm also pretty impressed with how much he says !! Two songs (which repeat), counts to 10, and says, like, 5 or so phrases !! She goes crazy over Giovanni, and just 'loves' on him all the time !!!"~ M.Jay.

 "This toy is everything it says it is! The words are clear and easy to understand. Giovanni is a must for any child of Italian heritage or anyone who wants their child to begin to learn Italian. Most important is that the company stands behind their product. When Giovanni arrived there was a tear near the leg. I called and left a message for them to call me and my call was returned within the hour! When I explained the problem, they immediately sent me another bear so I would have it in time for the holidays and also sent me postage paid to return the bear with the tear. They were so pleasant to deal with and I even received a letter of apology for my inconvenience. Customer service like this is unheard of today. I would highly recommend them and would purchase more from them. I hope they continue to grow and prosper!" ~ M. Newlin

" Giovanni is so cute. I love all of the words and phrases that he says. My parents are Italian Immigrants, and I grew up speaking Italian. This bear counts Italian, says common words in Italian (Ciao, Buon Giorno, Mi Chiamo Giovanni), and he sings songs (Giro, Giro Tondo). I am so happy with this purchase. The company's customer service was excellent. She was quick to respond to my e-mail, and I received my order a few days after ordering it (the company is in California, and I live in Ohio). Giovanni is so cute,and I am so happy with my purchase."

" A couple of weeks ago I placed an order for Giovanni the Bear, a couple of books and a couple of CD's.  Everything arrived within a few days and I couldn't be happier with the items.

Giovanni is the best!  I ordered them for my grandchildren, but my kids and I can't stop listening to him.  I ordered another today.

Thanks for your efficient service.  Love your products!"

"Giovanni is amazing! My husband & I bought him for our 8month old & we couldn't be happier with the choice. Living in Australia I expected a lengthy wait but it arrived in no time at all!!

The look, sound & choice of phrases is great, I'm so excited our lil one can learn italian this way.

Great service! Looking forward to making future purchases!"

"A few months back I ordered the Giovanni talking Bear, and an infant T-Shirt.  Yesterday,  was a baby shower I had for my daughter-in-law and son.  When they opened the Bear and I played it, everyone loved it.
We were 99% Italians at the shower.  So far today I received 4 calls or e-mail from friends who wanted your website to order the bear.
I'm sure you will be getting many orders.  The bear is adorable. Thanks for a beautiful gift for us Italians!"

We just wanted to let you know that cute and cuddly Giovanni has had a safe trip and has arrived in Melbourne, Australia. He is so cute and our little daughter Isabella has welcomed him as her new friend. She is so fascinated by him. Thank you again and best wishes from Australia."

Giovanni is a huge hit with mama and the entire household.  He sits in the rocking chair across from Mama's chair and every now and then she puts him in her lap so he can "talk" to her...in Italian.  The Italian- American Club meets here in September and she's going to take Giovanni as a guest.
