Alphabears: An ABC Book

Alphabears is a delightful introduction to the ABCs. Each letter is introduced as the name of a teddy bear with a distinct personality tied into the same letter. Each letter has two rhyming lines. The illustrations are outstanding. They are gentle and harken back to an earlier time.

Decent read aloud/good rhyme scheme. Like the gashlycrumb tines but with bears and not morbid.

Introduces a bear for each letter of the alphabet and describes its special qualities in rhyme.

This is a nice warm book for younger children to learn the Alphabets. The photos are detailed and the bears are living lifes' twists and turns and just plain ol' life.

In this book each letter is represented by its own bear. Each bear has its own personality, and helps show words that start with the individual letters.

There are no awards for this particular book. This book is sufficient for kindergartners and preschoolers. This is a very simple texted book that preschoolers and kindergartners will enjoy reading as they are listening to the order of the alphabet. This book has a letter to each page and every letter is the name of a bear. They say the name of the bear and they have a little poem about what that bear likes to do. This book deals with the alphabet, rhyming and seeing how the letter is used in a paragraph. For preschoolers/kindergartners I would bring in my puppet bear and have him read the book to them. Once we read the book I'll see if the children remember the order of the alphabet and I'll write it on the board. Then they will come up show more with names beginning with the letter of their last name and the most unique name will be the new name of my puppet bear. show less

This book helps kids learn their alphabets by associating each alphabets with the name of a bear and their action. This would be a book that I would use to help kids with their alphabets.
