Bears tumble in!

Learn to count with this rhyming tale of twelve teddy bears tumbling

from page to page. Not just a counting book, it also teaches toddlers

colors, shapes, and counting by sets as the bears dance, jump, and play.

When it's time to leave, the bears scurry out in groups as readers

count down to zero.

Back matter includes a review of the colors, shapes, numbers, and

sets presented. Hands-on interaction makes this book perfect for use

with bear counters and other classroom manipulatives.

Reviews for Teddy Bear Counting

A rhyming text encourages children to participate by counting the bears (which resemble gummy bears), naming their colors, and identifying various shapes. First one is red./Yellow makes two./A green bear is three./Count four with this blue. Illustrations and text proceed from 1 bear to 12 and clearly develop concepts for colors, shapes, adding and subtracting, and grouping numbers in sets. Children can easily match numbers with corresponding teddy bears and one large number; all are placed on clean white backgrounds. The artwork is hand-drawn digitally in Adobe Photoshop. This title would be a fun way to introduce these basic skills. --School Library Journal
