Can You See a Little Bear? Book

With a charming look-and-find format, Can You See a Little Bear? asks children to engage fully with the story as they explore theatrical and circus settings in search of the missing cub. Against the backdrop of Jackie Morris’ whimsical animal fantasies, the concepts of opposites, colors, and contrasts are introduced in rhythmic, read-aloud nursery verse. Simple clues help little ones discover Little Bear trying on a hat, standing on his head, or floating in a balloon. Eventually Little Bear takes a bath and approaches bedtime, making this the perfect story to read before any child gets tucked in for the night.

Child Magazine

Steeped in dreamy surrealism, this intriguing picture book invites little ones to find the smiling polar bear tucked into each spread-among onion-domed towers, lavishly robed circus performers, mermaid dolphin-riders, and tooth-brushing crocodiles. (As in dreams, somehow this all makes sense.) Far more than a find-the-object book, this one fires up the imagination with its lush, exotic watercolors and rhyming text: "Ducks like the rain, penguins like the snow/Here's Little Bear-and he's putting on a show!" (ages Birth to 2)
