Synopsis

Baby Bear shares special moments with all the important people in his life. With Momma, he gets to spend time in the garden, picnicking and planting butterfly bushes. With Daddy, he spends time on the farm, helping to fix the tractor and dig holes for planting. With Big Brother, he goes to the beach where they sail kites and chase each other on the sand. Aunt Grace takes him to the aquarium and answers all his questions, while Uncle Roy shows him how to be a clown. And it's always a special day when Nana comes to visit. But while each day's activity and companion may be different, the routine at the end is always the same. Baby Bear is tucked into bed with a reading from a special book and always with a honey oatmeal raisin cookie. Having been involved in education for more than 30 years, Dr. Michael Shoulders travels extensively, visiting schools and speaking at conferences across the country. In addition to authoring the companion title, Say Daddy!, he has written several books for Sleeping Bear Press, including G is for Gladiator: An Ancient Rome Alphabet. Mike lives in Clarksville, Tennessee. A Rhode Island School of Design graduate, Teri Weidner has illustrated more than a dozen children's books. She works in watercolor, colored pencil, and a little of whatever else happens to be on her desk at the time. Teri lives in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-K—Five family members take turns spending a busy day with toddler Baby Bear and then tuck him in for the night by reading him one of his favorite books. They make notes in a diary to commemorate what they did with the little cub: he watched butterflies with Momma, gardened with Daddy, chased crabs with Brother, went to the aquarium with Aunt Grace, and did magic tricks with Uncle Roy. All of them love Baby Bear "more than they love honey oatmeal raisin cookies," a statement repeated throughout. This cozy day-in-the life flows well with Weidner's watercolor and colored-pencil pictures of these anthropomorphic brown bears. The pastel palette and simple details, like a hovering butterfly, are pretty and soothing. A recipe for the "Beary Special Honey Oatmeal Raisin Cookies" ends the story sweetly, in every sense of the word.—Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA
