5.0 out of 5 stars This has become a regular part of preparing for bed, June 1, 2000

By A Customer

I've just started incorporating a night time read into my eight month old son's bed-time routine and Bear is a big part of this. He loves the bright colours, the warm characters (he waves to Bear and Tutter on the cover every night), and I love the scope the pictures give me to make my own additions to a story.

This is a great series of books. I know I'm buying more of them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bear Loves Opposites, July 14, 2008

By	Anna M. Ligtenberg "AnnaLovesBooks" (Chicago) - See all my reviews

ISBN 0689831013 - I'm having a hard time finding a board book that doesn't deserve 5 stars for one reason or another and Bear here is no exception. From the soft, board-reinforced cover to the bright, glossy pages, it's a winner.

Bear loves opposites - and introduces the young reader to many of them. Play indoors (checkers) or outdoors (soccer); have fun getting dirty, and then have fun getting clean... and much more!

These are the simple sort of opposites that little children can understand and Bear and friends, particularly for fans of the TV series, provide an extra reason for enjoying the book. They'll want the rest of the set - and so do I!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bear Loves Opposites and You / Your Kids Will Too!, October 22, 2006

By	George Buttner "Agent0042" (Dayton, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This instructive "Bear in the Big Blue House" book is based loosely on the television episode "As Different as Day and Night." In this story, Bear is exploring opposites. There are all sorts of opposites to explore --- black and white, indoors and outdoors, big and small / tall and short and even clean and dirty (Pip and Pop covered in brightly colored paint and then in the bath.)

The colors on this are wonderful and charming. Each and every page is fully illustrated and the text is simple enough for the youngest readers. Another winner for "Bear in the Big Blue House" fans.

This is a Super-Chubby board-book and easy to hold on to. I bet this is probably one of those books that wouldn't even get damaged if it was taken into the bath, not that I would try it.
