Bears on Chairs: Book and Toy Gift Set

Between the unerringly positive approach to a common early-childhood dilemma and the can't-miss rhyme, this volume will likely find its place on many a daycare shelf.—Kirkus ReviewsRhyming text is simple enough for a preschool audience, and the lesson the bears model about sharing, though obvious, will be welcomed by many teachers and parents.—Publishers WeeklyParenteau’s brief rhythmic text is bouncy and light, and ideal for reading aloud.

Walker’s acrylic illustrations match the airy lyricism and mood of the text.—School Library JournalAlong with the visual treat of watching softly colored bears and chairs on expanses of white pages, this book cleverly melds words and art. —Booklist
