When is it a good time to read a book? According to baby bear, from the moment he opens his eyes in the morning until he closes them at night, any time is a perfect time to share a story. Whether it is playtime, naptime or snack time, there is always time to escape into the world of books.
I have to agree with baby bear. And he says it so poetically. With near-perfect lyrical rhymes, this book made me want to snuggle up with my kids and read the day away. The illustrations are gentle but fun as are the ideas that baby bear imagines. The book reads in such a soothing way as to be a perfect bedtime story, or just the story for cuddle-up and calm-down time. It just makes you want to, as baby bear would say, "Oh, read it again..."
Armchair Interviews says: Baby Bear's Books is a delightful, soothing read.
