Spanish Edition--- reading the series to the kids. They like guessing the translations about what Oso Negro y Oso Blanco are up to. Very short, cute stories and nice illustrations.

A very short book of only 18 words, it was over in the blink of an eye. I liked looking at short Bears red ball. Wish I was a bit older to really enjoy this book, I’m only 9 weeks old so mostly I like hearing mummy’s voice and there wasn’t many words in this story.

Love this kids book; if you have young kids, and can find it, you might as well grab a copy.

I just grabbed this off the shelf since I am getting more babies than toddlers and am trying to get younger books. This went over very well and a mother asked if she could check it out after the program. 12/5/12

Used again. 13

Used again Spot's Toys didn't arrive. Still went over well. 12/23/14

Used in PJ, the little boy had a thing about balls. 1/12/15

Baby wanted to explore not look at books. 1/4/16

A bit small for the group here, but I enjoy the simplicity of this board book.

Great little books. One to two words per page. The biggest boy (4) can read through without getting bored. The pictures are sweet and tell a story separate from the words and the littlest one (1 1/2) loves them.

Nice illustrations, nice rhymes to ball, nice little story. E. had me read it 5 thousand times today. And then K. had to memorize it and say it a few hundred times. Good short word structure. We'll see if E. can actually understand some of the concepts yet.

Very cute! Not only a book of rhyming opposites, but on every page you can point out "ball" to your little one.

[Violet Moll · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a sweet little rhyming story with nice illustrations. Violet loves the opportunity to say "ball!" through the whole thing.
