Customer Reviews

Great first reader book

My four-year old son can read this book, due to its simplicity and beautiful pictures. It's a winner.

Love it!

This is the cutest book! Very simple with wonderful watercolors. My daughter, 11 weeks, will smile at the pages. But I can't wait until she is old enough to understand the book. A must for any child's book collection!

Must have!

This is a must have for every library. Beautiful watercolor illustrations, fun story, simple patterns. Adored by my 10 month old and her 5 yr old sis.

Brilliant

I am an children's book author/illustrator and have looked at many picture books on my own and with my son. This is one of the few that stands out. Though exceedingly simple, this book is very rich. It is a primer on shape, color, language, and perhaps, mostly, on imagination. There is a lot to engage and to tickle young children. I wish I had done it.

One of the most ADORABLE children's books I've ever read!

While browsing B & N I came across this book and was instantly smitten by the adorable quizzical look on the bear's face on the cover. With only five simple words this book is surprisingly engaging, endearing, and humorous. This book is an excellent reminder of the pure innocence and preciousness of childhood and the opportunity afforded by motherhood to see that which passes by the window of time and is forgotten all too quickly.
