Here's a big five-part picture book featuring a popular little bear who has appeared in previously published books from Barron's. Moms and dads will be delighted with this collection of Baby Bear poems, nursery rhymes, and songs that are perfect for toddlers' bedtime reading. Baby Bear does all the funny and endearing things that little boys and girls usually do themselves when they're with parents and grandparents. So kids who meet Baby Bear for the first time in this book will be quick to identify with him. The five parts of this oversized volume incorporate some of the material and illustrations from the earlier books, but add new poems and songs that kids will love. Children will learn about counting, rhyming, the seasons of the year, and many other fascinating things. The titles of the book's five parts are Grandbear and Me, Rumbling Tummies, My Friends and I, Out and About, and Bedtime. John Prater's charming full-color illustrations appear on every page.

PreS-A compilation of rhymes published individually in 2001, with additions. The result is a sometimes-confusing mixture of traditional Mother Goose, action rhymes, and songs with no music. Since a single rhyme sometimes goes on for pages, it is often difficult to see where one ends and another begins. On the other hand, all 38 selections, long and short, new and familiar, are nicely illustrated with pencil-and-watercolor art. Prater depicts a world of friendly, loving, active bears acting out such favorites as "The Bear Went Over the Mountain" and "Oh Where Oh Where." Some are traditional Mother Goose rhymes with bear characters: the art for "Humpty Dumpty" shows Baby Bear looking down from his high chair at a broken egg and three droll toy soldiers on their wheel-driven horses.
