Reviews

PreS-K—Alliteration is key in this bright and blissful book. Readers are introduced to an adorable bear cub who is on a quest for a good breakfast that starts with the letter B. Bear leads one friend after the other on a journey through several different B options, including a bunny, a boa, and a bee. Unfortunately, none of these B creatures are right for breakfast, until Bear notices a boy near some berries. This simple, gentle story will benefit emerging readers, encouraging them with plenty of white space and expressive text to decode through Bear's journey. Children will especially delight in Bear's animated expressions, provided by Helquist, who does an excellent job of illustrating Bear's world through his warm and vivid paintings. VERDICT A fine addition to most collections.—Maria Alegre, The Dalton School, New York
