Having the book available in a larger format than usual as well as the accompanying CD featuring actress Gwyneth Paltrow reading it aloud may charm many young readers. No matter the size of the book or the musical embellishments on the CD, this picture book will also have appeal because of the way each part of the story fits together with the others. Youngsters will enjoy trying to guess what Baby Bear and the other animals see, the description of each animal, the interesting artwork with all those colors and shades, and they will love the repetitive nature of the questions. It's hard to imagine anyone who wouldn't love sharing this with a youngster or any youngster who would not want to hear the book read aloud. Ideal for teaching children to love language, there is much to celebrate here, including the bond between a mother and her little one.

The second version of this classic story that I recently read has a lift-the-tab format, and the book itself is quite small, perfect for the hands of a little one.
