Here's a tongue-twister for you:Say three times please!Bob Bear's Beards!Of course, we don't remember the books we had when we were small, but I'll bet they were illustrated, weren't they... Nothing gets a child's attention better than a picture you can point to and say the word: Bear!Soon, your child who is just beginning to notice things will have parents thinking about getting books, simple books that are fun and yet can be a teaching tool! We all had them and liked them and would climb on somebody's lap and say, Read! Right!?! Knowing parents will introduce books as early as they can and this one is perfect for when you know it is time to start getting them interested in pictures, words...and the world.Just three things change in this book: Bob's Beard's Colors!Andthe foods that created it!On the day he ate the food!Except on Sunday... LOLFor instance, on Monday, Bob ate strawberries and got a red beard! Really, that's quite a lot for a little one to start learning... In fact, I think it is just enough!Caution: If you are buying an ebook, colors will not appear unless your equipment permits color...While I thought this story is quite good for younger children, I would not recommend it unless your child can see the colors! In my opinion, the effectiveness of picture books is greatly diminished when bright colors are not there to attract and retain the attention of small ones. I do hope that Lee's publisher considers these for print... If not, be sure you consider this factor in deciding on whether you purchase the book... The story is wonderful, but... if you can't use it to teach what colors look like...???GABixlerReviewsBook received for Review
