Reviews

[Makeba Nugent]

This book as well as the other books in the "Mr Bear Says" collection, are great, simple rhyming book for early years children. The collection of books introduce and help children to remember parts of their body, animals and insects as well as drawing on the experiences of a toddlers or an early years child's life, such as playing with toys, meal times and the relationships they hold with their parents and family members.

I really enjoy reading these books with my daughter. The illustrations are amazing and pay huge attention to detail.

Through the many times I have read these books with my daughter, it has been proven that these books do help to reinforce her development as a toddler/ pre- school child and I would recommend these books as a way of introducing reading and books to children.

Simple, participatory boardbook that names some body parts and seem perfect for baby time.

[Kassie Vardas-Doane · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a very short read. There was not much to it. The books main goal is to teach body parts. So there is a mama bear and a baby bear, and on each page of the story the mom is explaining a part of the baby's body (ten toes, ten fingers, two eyes, etc.) Even though it was a very simple book I think that it would be great for very young children, preschool and younger. The pages are fun to look at, and there aren't very many words so it wouldn't be hard for children who are learning how to read.

This is a board book that teaches kids about the parts of the body. It was a good one for baby storytime.
