Customer Reviews

I have read Alphabears so many times I have it memorized

This is a wonderful rhyming book, with gorgeous illustrations. I wanted a nice clean copy to give my new grandchild, but was disappointed when the "Like New" copy came with a child's name largely written in marker 3 times on the front cover, along with part of the title being circled in marker. I would have thought that would be a fair or good copy, not a like new.

This is a charmingly illustrated book with a story on every page. My son at 3 used to stop me and ask about the scenes - why is this? who is that? where are they going? Great for imaginative reading and story telling.

Adorable book!

I love the illustrations in this book - they are so sweet. I had bought this book for my own daughter when she was a baby and now I just bought it for my twin grandsons.

Still My Favorite Children's Book

This was my favorite children's book when I was young. I would have my mother read it to me over and over again and still to this day I can remember almost all of the letters! As friends of mine have children, this is the book I always get for them! And before I wrap it up, I always read through it again and remember how much I loved it. Absolutely my favorite children's book even now!

The most amazing book ever!

I can remember when I was young, I made my father read this book to me over and over and over again until he had it memorized! This book, is by far the best book ever! My personal favorite. The pictures are georgous and the rymes are great. If you love Teddy Bears, you'll love this book! All children should own this!

What a delight!

Alphabears is a delightful introduction to the ABCs. Each letter is introduced as the name of a teddy bear with a distinct personality tied into the same letter. Each letter has two rhyming lines. The illustrations are outstanding. They are gentle and harken back to an earlier time. It is incredible that this book was written and illustrated in the 80's. It is a very old-fashioned ABC book and will delight old and young alike!
