From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 1?This collection of 18 bear stories by various authors and illustrators is not a success. Many of the selections are lackluster and the widely different illustrative styles often clash. The overall layout and design is also weak. For example, Michael Rosen's retelling of "We're Going On a Bear Hunt," illustrated by Helen Oxenbury, is reproduced in three or more panels to a page, and the pictures are so small that most detail is lost. John Burningham's Skip Trip and Wobble Pop, originally done as board books (Viking, 1984; o.p.), are crowded on a double-page spread, the figures and text jammed closely together giving a chaotic rather than active appearance. Children's literature abounds with wonderful bear stories so this hodgepodge is an unnecessary purchase.?Karen James, Louisville Free Public Library, KY

Ages 3^-6. Preschoolers who want big, thick books like their older brothers and sisters will be thrilled with this collection of bear stories. The anthology format means that tales originally published in picture-book format appear here with each story compressed into fewer pages and illustrations. Still, the stories are quite effective. Picture-book favorites adapted for this collection include Alborough's Where's My Teddy? (1992), Lewis' First Snow (1993), Rosen's We're Going on a Bear Hunt (1989), and Waddell's Let's Go Home, Little Bear (1993). A most appealing anthology for young children. Carolyn Phelan
