Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-These sweet, softly colored board books feature Bean, a black cat, and Soup, a white-and-black pup. In the first title, the pets are shown cavorting up and down and around the room until Soup is sent outside and Bean joins him for a nap. In the second title, Soup eats, bathes, and snuggles right along with the blonde-haired, blue-eyed toddler. In Soup's Oops, the pup gets in trouble for overturning a table while playing fetch in the house. The resident toddler solves the problem by moving the game outdoors. The books' extra small size will suit little hands, and the two-to-four words per double-page spread support the stories and concepts, which are mainly conveyed through the illustrations. Enjoyable fare for the toddler set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Addition to the series, May 25, 2000

By A Customer

My son and daughter (10 months old)loved the Bean books, and I have been waiting for the Bean/Soup books to come out. They love this book as well. The illustrations are bright and appealing and the text is simple and clear. The combination works and my twins love it. It is also the perfect size for their hands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and Great Books for Baby, January 31, 2006

We often get Bean/Soup books for my daughter from our library, and they are a hit. The illustrations are precious and the text is simple and perfect for even the littlest babies, especially when first starting to identifying "dog", "cat", and "baby". My daughter is older now, but she still loves thumbing through Bean/Soup books on her own.

My daugther loves this book. "Reading" it has been one of her favorite pasttimes since she has been able to sit up on her own (6 months old.) The simple pictures, text and concepts are a perfect for her as she is developing a sense of the world around her. Now 13 months old she still loves this series and I have searched hi and low to complete it. Enjoy!
