I was looking for new books for my son when I came across this book for preorder. My 5 yr old looked over my shoulder and exclaimed "When can we get it mom?!?!" Notice he didn't ask IF we could get it! My son knows I love Bear just as much as he does so it was never a question of "CAN we get it", he knew better. The newest Bear book is once again the perfect combination of great writing and awesome illustrations. Karma Wilson always has a wonderful melody and tempo to her writing with stories that are perfect for young children just grasping their social and emotional development. My children love that they can sometimes predict what will happen next in the story and sometimes they dance on the end of their seat waiting to see what will happen on the next page. The illustrations by Jane Chapman bring the story to life and give us characters that we love to look at over and over again. My son describes it best... "I just want to love and snuggle Bear all day long".This particular story was special to my youngest as he has not yet lost a tooth but is eagerly waiting. I thought the subject was handled beautifully since the wonder and fear quickly turned into "what can we do" and excitement.If Jane Chapman and Karma Wilson continue to work together, I will continue to purchase these books. They just make you feel happy!
