My 2 year old loves Bear and loves this book. The language is age appropriate and still manages to put a "big" word in here and there. The artwork is lovely and the stories are episodes of Bear. We usually read two per night, I have to limit him.

I highly recommend this to all Bear-Fans!

I'm glad to have this book -- in hardcover it's more sturdy than the paperback single versions. Most of the illustrations are the photos of the characters with the props and sets drawn in, but two stories are only drawn, even the characters. I much prefer the photo style, but I expect this won't matter to everyone. (My preference would be for all-photo, as if it were the TV program, but they don't seem to do that except for some cover art.)

It would be called the "Smart Thinking" song, because that's exactly what into putting together something like this. This book combines seven "Bear in the Big Blue House" titles into a single hardback book. Some are based on episodes of the television show, others are original stories.

There are seven stories in this one: "Best Friends," "Mystery at the Big Blue House," "The Big Blue House Call," "A Surprise in the Mailbox," "Two Can Share, Too," "Spring Has Sprung!" and "The Way I Feel Today." I can't fault these choices --- they're all wonderful selections from the library of books from the series. The only change made is that the pages are renumbered so that a single table of contents for the entire book is used --- a quick reference to find the place of each story.

The stories and illustrations in this book are sure to delight those, both young and old, who love "Bear In The Big Blue House". All the favourite characters come to life when my nephew and his wife read the stories to their two littlies.
