Customer Reviews

Our children's all-time favorite book.

Twenty Two Bears is filled with grand alliteration. It was fun to read as rapidly as one could, with the children chiming in at the end of a rapid delineation of the various bears, "but twenty two bears - that is a lot of bears!". They would also correct us if we became tongue tied during the reading. It was a grand read for us, and for helping the children to learn to read. The book spoke to a grand party for the bears, but ended telling the child that it was really a party for his special bear (teddy bear). I was sorry when it went out of print.
