Awesome! I knew I was in for something great when I found an author I loved from [b:Ten Sleepy Sheep|1873720|Ten Sleepy Sheep|Phyllis Root|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1189572708s/1873720.jpg|804715] by Phyllis Root, possibly my favorite board book and illustrated by my other favorite board book [b:Bears on Chairs|6543234|Bears on Chairs|Shirley Parenteau|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320454635s/6543234.jpg|6735495] and newly released [b:Bears in Beds|13531019|Bears in Beds|Shirley Parenteau|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1333579095s/13531019.jpg|19092687] illustrated by David Walker. Seeing those two listed together, this book had to be great! We borrowed the book from the library and I've already reserved the board book to pick up at our local Barnes & Noble.

This story has it all that I like. One it's cute and attractive illustrations. But even more than that are the elements within. There are animals to learn and recognize on sight. There are sounds to say and act out with your children. There are rhymes! Oh goodness, thank you for fun transitional rhymes - something we're working on learning and I'm delighted about this book to help with it! I'm delighted with this book and it's going to be right up there with the others, I might have to have the picture book and the board book to read it all the time.
