Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
The big friendly fellow from Bear in a Square and Bear on a Bike enjoys all kinds of weather in Bear in Sunshine, also by Blackstone, illus. by Debbie Harter. Bear sings in the rain, makes snow-bears in winter and stands on his head in the moonlight. A final spread reviews the seasons.

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1-Bear is shown out and about in different types of weather throughout the year in this appealing picture book. He plays in the sunshine; sings in the rain, … la Gene Kelly; paints when it's misty; and builds snow bears in the winter. Each page contains a single line of rhyming text and is complemented by a double-page watercolor scene done in vibrant hues. The use of thick watercolor paper adds depth and texture to bring the sky, hills, and bears to life. The words flow smoothly and the pictures will project well for storytime. A slight but appealing addition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bright colors and simple rhymes - perfect for kids, May 21, 2004

By	Susan Smedberg (Fitchburg, WI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My 17-month old daughter LOVES this book. In fact, she loves all the Bear books. There are so many things to point out on each page and its easy to relate the text to everyday life so the books lend themselves to extensions. The bright colors and warm illustrations are inviting and fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the "Bear" books., January 6, 2007

I love the bear books. Children, including mine, initally love looking at the pictures because of the bright and bold colors and contrasts, then enjoy the story. I am buying these as gifts, and will probobly buy more over time. "Bearfoot books" have the most wonderful illustrations.
