Children's ✦ Penny’s Take

Bear Loves Visitors!

Tricia Boczkowski · 2003
68/100
👎 Skip It

If your toddler loves Bear in the Big Blue House, this board book is a warm and gentle way to extend that world while reinforcing good manners — Ojo, Treelo, and friends do that job reliably. The honest caveat is that the book leans entirely on existing TV affection; on its own, without the franchise, there is not much here that a stronger original picture book couldn't do better. A nice gift for fans, not a must-buy otherwise.
