Book Reviews of Little Bear (An I Can Read Book and Audio CD)
Book Review: Charming, cheerful readers for little ones
Summary: 5 Stars
My kids and I came to know Little Bear through the cartoons on TV first. Perhaps part of the appeal of the books for my kids is that they know these stories well from the cartoon, but the books are much more engaging!
Best of all, unlike the cartoons, you have the amazing illustrations of Maurice Sendak. They give the books a timeless appeal.
Perfect to read to little ones, and an excellent reader for K-2.
Other titles in the Level 1 - Beginning Reading series are:
- "Father Bear Comes Home"
- "A Kiss For Little Bear"
- "Little Bear's Friend"
- "Little Bear's Visit"
Summary of Little Bear (An I Can Read Book and Audio CD)
This is the first I Can Read Book ever, and the first of five classic Little Bear books, expressly designed for beginning readers. Elsa Holmelund Minarik and Maurice Sendak teamed up to create these simple stories that are deeply comforting and lovingly playful. In one story, "Birthday Soup," Little Bear cannot find his mother and presumes she has forgotten his birthday. With the prospect of guests arriving and no cake in sight, he sets out to make birthday soup (all his friends like soup). Just as the gathering is sitting down for soup, Mother Bear shows up with a big, beautiful birthday cake. "I never did forget your birthday, and I never will," she says to her son as he hugs her leg. In "Little Bear Goes to the Moon," Little Bear declares that he will fly to the moon in his new space helmet. Mother Bear tells him to be back by lunch, and he is. The gentle, teasing repartee between Little Bear and his mother will delight young readers, and the spacious layout and large type will encourage them to keep on reading! (Ages 4 to 8)I Can Read Books are the premier line of beginning readers encouraging children to learn -- and love -- to read. Featuring award-winning authors and illustrators, I Can Read Books offer a full spectrum of entertaining stories for every stage of a child's reading development.
Now the beloved characters and adventures from this popular line of books come to life with I Can Read Book and CDs. Each package includes a best-selling beginning-reader storybook and a lively audio recording featuring:
- Word-for-word narration
- Music and sound effects
- One version with turn-the-page signals
- One version of uninterrupted reading
