This is the second book we've read in the Jesse Bear Series, and we love it as much as the first one, "What Will You Wear Jesse Bear?" We plan to buy the rest. The illustrations are wonderful and hold my two year olds attention as he soaks up all details. He loves the little bear and his parents. The rhyming style is very catchy and has enough repetition to keep a toddler involved. The book shows a typical toddler (who happens to be a bear) trying his best to get wet in all sorts of daily activities. He is continually thwarted by the warning "Better not get wet Jesse Bear!" until his parent bears finally let him loose in his own pool. My son LOVES to say that line as it is repeated throughout the story and yell "SPLASH" when Jesse Bear gets to jump into his pool. Surprisingly, the book made the sublte point to my son about puddles and such. When he runs across them now, he shakes his head and says "better not wet, Jesse Bear"

These books by this author are amazing with beautiful, delightful illustrations. And finally a book that shows a mother AND a father in a loving family. The mother also appears to be a stay at home mother which is so refreshing!! I get annoyed with so many books that show the most influential person in a child's life as a teacher. Nothing against teachers but parents are the primary person in a child's life or are supposed to be anyway. Love, love, love these books and so does my three year old.

I ordered this book used, but in good shape it said, it was missing a page, no big deal if the seller would return my emails and help me replace the book. I have emailed 3 times and received nothing, so I am very dissatisfied with the product and service.
