I'm a huge fan of all Jane Cabrera's books because they work so well with library-story-time groups of the pre-school-age persuasion. In this story a tiger-like kitten wants you to guess its favorite color.
We have two story time performers so one asked the question featured on each double-page...

As bland as the snow.
Very repetitive. I certainly couldn't read this to my kid because it would drive me crazy.
Every other page is, “Where, oh where does the X go/When winter comes and the cold winds blow?” And then it says where it goes. It's in rhyme. It's all about the different...

We LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! We have had it for many years (I think my daughter was 2 when we got it, she's now 10) and we still read it. Very sweet story about friendship and language.

2010: My one-year-old loves these Bear books. They even caused her to say bear for the first time.

Because of it's fragile nature, this would be a great book for parents and younger children (1-4) to share together. As children get older (K-2), it will be an exciting...
