ABOUT THE STORY, INCLUDING SNEAK PEEKS AT THE ILLUSTRATIONS

Baby Bear shares special moments with all the important people in his life.

With Momma, he gets to spend time in the garden, picnicking and planting butterfly bushes.

With Daddy, he spends time on the farm, helping to fix the tractor and dig holes for planting.

With Big Brother, he goes to the beach where they sail kites and chase each other on the sand.

Aunt Grace takes him to the aquarium and answers all his questions, while Uncle Roy shows him how to be a clown.

And it’s always a special day when Nana comes to visit.

But while each day’s activity and companion may be different, the routine at the end is always the same. Baby Bear is tucked into bed with a reading from a special book and always with a honey oatmeal raisin cookie.

DLKEUR REVIEW

The illustrations are incredibly joyous. You can feel the love throughout this fine children’s book. And the story is equal parts fun and interesting, with tons and tons of family love throughout.

I highly recommend this book to parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles, who want an excellent, happy book for those special children in their lives.

Absolutely excellent.

Oh, and there’s a special surprise at the end of the book that you’ll absolutely love.

  3. Um…Amy B? Can you show me the connection between Perigree Learning, LLC and Sleeping Bear Press, Gale, or Cengage, what I think is the parent company? I can’t find a connection between Sleeping Bear Press and the book you named so you can qualify. Of course, that’s not to say that I’m not missing something, so can you help me out here?

  4. And we have our first qualifier for the giveaway. Congratulations on naming an excellent Sleeping Bear Press book that was released just this month.

  5. Published in 2009, the ‘Finn McCool and the Great Fish’ looks like a great book, especially with St. Patrick’s Day coming up! :-)

  6. S is for Story: A Writer’s Alphabet by Ester Hershenhorn. I love Sleeping Bear Press’s alphabet books. As a poet (when I have the time), I especially liked this one.

  10. “Lily’s Victory Garden” sounds like a wonderful book. The cover illustration is beautiful! It is published/released this month.

  11. The Little Green Pea sounds cute for my kindergarten class. It was published in 2009.
