Ha ha! I had a great laugh with this book--especially at the end. The rhyme scheme kept the book moving. Some little inside jokes that the very young might not get, yet the book is definitely intended for the toddler/PreK audience. Cute read though. With a good moral, too, if you want to see it.

Very cute story about a bear who woke up one morning with a boy on his head. Warm colors and simple illustrations add to the cuteness of this book.

A cute story about a crazy busy bear and a boy on his back that reminds him he needs to slow down and enjoy life sometimes! :)

Another brilliant collaboration between Sean Bryan and Tom Murphy, this time telling about an overstressed bear with a boy on his head, which leads into another book about a giraffe with a child on his head.

another hit with my nursery school group today. silly but not raucous; just nonsensical enough to get the kids giggling.

Funny, rhyming text about a bear named Mack who wakes up to find Zach on his back. Would be a good Read Aloud.

Another cute installment. I liked the message of the importance to slowing down to enjoy things.
