Baby Bear's Books

Jane Yolen Baby Bear’s Books; illus. by Melissa Sweet. 30pp/Harcourt Books 2006 ISBN-13: 978-0-15-205290-4 (preschool)

Baby Bear’s Books is a great book for pre-school and primary children. Throughout the day, a baby bear finds a book to fit every special moment. The story is all in rhyme so the reader can easily glide through the text of the story. Smith illustrates the book in mixed media and collage on water color paper. This creates an effect that is appealing to the eyes. I enjoyed this story and related to it, because when I was young I was read to almost every night by my parents, so I understand the love of books the young bear has.
