There are many things I love about this adorable children's book, including:- the story is engaging
- the pictures are absolutely precious, creative, and almost tell the story themselves through the poses of the characters (the bear and his dog) and the scenery
- the way they use the layout of the text to "illustrate" what is going on in the story. This is difficult to explain if you haven't seen the book, but the words are occasionally bent to go up and down, etc. when the characters are jumping off a hill or falling off their sled, etc.
This is a hardcover book with thicker than average pages that will stand up to being turned by little fingers that haven't developed dexterity. Finally, as the cover says, "Read Aloud," "Read Along," "Read Alone" - it's great for all!
I would highly recommend this book as an addition to any children's book collection.
