Editorial Reviews

Identified by rhyming descriptions, bears of all shapes, colors and sizes make their way to Mary's for tea. According to PW , "The words have a lyrical simplicity and beg to be chanted aloud. This urbane concept book will delight one and all." Ages 3-5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Ones LOVE THIS BOOK!, December 1, 1999

Mitzy Hileman (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bears in Pairs (Paperback)

All three of my sons love this book. I have an older hardcover edition of this book my older 14 year old son enjoyed when he was younger. Now I am reading it to my twin boys that are 20 months old. They truely enjoy all the bears in this book. It even has twin bears in it! If you are looking for a book for the under 5 group this is it. Kids love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beary, Beary Good, August 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bears in Pairs (Paperback)

Children adore teddy bears, and this book is just full of them. Bears of every imaginable description! It is a subtle "teaching tool" helping with colors and sizes, plus much much more. I purchase this book for friends 4 and under. My daughter wore out 2 books! We enjoyed it beary much. Hope you do too!

5.0 out of 5 stars My sons memorized this book! It sings!, October 27, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Bears in Pairs (Paperback)

This is the kind of book you can begin reading to a two year old and they will ask to hear it over and over, until they memorize every page! It flows beautifully and after a few readings you can 'sing' the words. The bears are colorful, funny, and unique. We have the hardcover and it is so worn we are ordering a paperback (no more hardbacks printed) for our library and one for our cousin who is 18 months.You'll want to videotape your child 'singing' this book, its precious!
