Product Description
Where is Little Bear? In this charming look-and-find book, highlighted by Jackie Morris's gorgeous animal fantasies, very young children explore theatrical and circus settings as they attempt to find the missing cub. The concepts of opposites, colors, and contrasts are introduced in the read-aloud nursery verse, and simple clues and vivid word images help children discover Little Bear, whether he's trying on a hat, standing on his head, or floating in a balloon. Gradually Little Bear moves into a more familiar landscape of tea and bath — a cue for little bears' bedtimes everywhere.

 A Treasure of a Book February 11, 2006
Carolyn Adams (New York, NY)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is fantastic for young children for both its language and its whimsical, enthralling illustrations. The rhyming words are simple and rhythmic, and the verse involve animals familiar to most young children (except kookaburra). In addition, the concepts of opposites (day/night) and similar-but-different (red/green) are used throughout.
It's the illustrations, however, that make the book so special. While it's fun for kids to spot the little bear and what he is up to on each page, there is so much more to discover in each picture. Many of the other animals also show up on each page (but you need to look carefully for them) and there is clever repetition of motifs from illustration to illustration (peacock feathers, harebells, spirals). This attention to detail keeps me, as an adult, enchanted and invites close examination by children reading the book - even those who are not yet readers.
I highly recommend it.

This is a beautiful book with a fun story ending in bedtime as many good children's books do.
