Editorial Reviews

Review

"The opportunity for children to sharpen their rhyming and observation skills as well as learn their colors make this interactive journey a must. Don’t miss it!" ― School Library Journal

A walk through the woods provides ample opportunities for spotting colors in Bear and Mouse’s latest adventure. “Mouse and bear are walking;/ they are chitter-chatter-talking./ So much for them to do./ And the bear sees...” begins Wilson, as the animals appear against a white backdrop; both the open-ended rhyme and a pair of blue dragonflies hint at what awaits after the page turn. The next spread is a riot of blue, with Bear splashing in a river while flowers, fish, butterflies, and fruit offer readers many opportunities to “spy blue with Bear.” Though Wilson’s rhymes can be a tad herky-jerky, Chapman’s vibrant acrylics give children plenty to pore over. -- Publishers Weekly ― July 14, 2014

My life is a series of lessons and moments that see me to the next lessons and moments. Some moments are sweet, some scary, some a blur gone too fast and forever missed. I write for children because all of these steps started there, in childhood, and that sense of wonder, keen curiosity, and the ability to see things much kinder and more magical than they actually were, fades as time passes and years and experience claim your naivety. For me it is a feeling only rekindled when I am creating books, stories and poetry.
My children, family and friends are a great inspiration to me, and the support of my readers is a tremendous honor. It is always my desire to entertain children and encourage them to think about and explore their world, and the worlds beyond, embrace creativity, and love learning for the duration of their life. Knowledge comes through words, so for me literacy is the foundation of education, and it bears the fruit of intelligent and empathetic citizens of this world and humanity.

Fantastic!

I bought this book to use with my pre-k speech and language impaired students while working on color identification and labeling. The illustrations are gorgeous, and the rhyming text is so engaging as it always is in these Bear books. The rhyming and repetitive lines make it easy for kids to participate in the telling of the story, even if they are delayed in their communication skills. I couldn't be happier with this purchase, Highly recommend adding this to your library!

Adorable rhyming story about colors found throughout their travels. Wish they would have included less common colors like gray, pink, purple, black and white as well, especially since they included brown.

Nice pictures and good rhymes make the kids interested in the book. Our toddler learned and practiced colors through reading about bear's spotting colors with his forest friends.

Our daughter loves it and it’s the type of book you don’t mind reading 10 times a day when they ask to read it over and over again. Easy for the kiddos to catch on and repeat the words with you.

This is a cute book to help out with colors. Pages are very vibrant and has numerous things of the specific color to point at and go over with your children. Love the rhymes and the story line. I only wish it had more colors in it but nonetheless it is a great book that my daughter brings to me over and over again.

A great intro to colors book for a toddler (at least ours)!

A great intro to colors book for a toddler (at least ours)! Our little guy was already a Karma Wilson fan and familiar with her other books (Bear Gives Thanks, Bear Wants More, Bear Sleeps In, etc), and this newest book does not disappoint. Simple text. Great illustrations. Our little guy loves following bear through the story and finding objects on each page. Took him about a month and he knew red, yellow, green & blue - the colors she focuses on. What a fun book on colors!

Beautiful story

My boys stumbled across this story in the library and after the third time renewing it, I had to buy it! It’s such a fun story! It got my 3 year old genuinely interested in colours and reading, and my 6 year old with autism began expanding in the book by searching out and pointing to objects that matched the colours.

It’s a great addition to any child’s book collection.

Quick delivery. We borrowed this book from the library and my daughter makes me read this to her every night before bed. Simple words, paragraphs just the right length with simple rhyming to keep my daughters attention. Beautifully illustrated with nice vibrant colours.
The title page in our book has a smudge. I'm not sure what from, but doesn't bother us.
