Customer Reviews

Great book!

My son is 19 months old and really enjoys pointing to the different objects on each page. It a great book to learn how to recognize objects in a picture.

Buy all of these Bear books for your child!

These are great books. I plan on keeping all of them even though my son is 6 years old. He still likes to read them. Keep them for your grandkids!

Learned shapes at 12 months

My son has loved this book from the start. I thought he was just fascinated by the vibrant colors and pictures, but evidently it is also a valuable learning tool. He knew all the shapes by 12 months. He is 18 months now, and we still read this book, making up stories about the pictures. He still likes being 'tested' on the shapes at the end, though of course he knows it by heart by now.

Works on several levels

This is a great book for a pre-reader, up to age 4 or so. It teaches rhymes, shapes, colors and numbers, all in a sturdy board book illustrated with funny colorful pictures. Very cute!

Great baby book

I have this book as a board book, which is good because it's appropriate as a "baby's first" type of book. I just love it and my one year old just loves the bright pictures. When I put it down to get another one, he points to it again. The rhyming text is wonderful and the pictures are really cool and artsy and bright. My 3-year old also likes it because she understands how to find and count the shapes. I really recommend this one - perfect for a baby gift or first birthday!
