Bear and Ball

This charming rhyming story coupled with classic-style illustrations gently introduces young readers to the concept of opposites.

Publishers Weekly

A pair of board books by Cliff Wright feature a white and a black bear cub whose tussles teach simple concepts and vocabulary words: Bear and Kite; and Bear and Ball. In the first, for instance, the duo gets tangled up in the kite string and end up in a tussle ("Play and fight," reads the text), but they work out their differences in time to snuggle up for the night. Ink and watercolor illustrations framed in a generous cream-colored border give the titles a sweetly nostalgic feel. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
