I really like books like this. Clearly it's meant to be read aloud to the little one, but at the same time there are simple words in large type that are repeated often, and it's very likely that a child who is ready to learn to read will master some of these before being specifically taught by a leveled reader.
The story itself is simple, kinda fun, didn't do anything for me. The art is fine.

Another perfect entry to the Bear Books by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman. This one is a little different as it doesn’t have the same cadence and rhyming pattern as the other bear books, but it is still there. I love all the books in this series.
