COUNT THE WAYS, LITTLE BEAR
Illustrated by Margie Moore
“Dressed in human clothing, the mother
and child play hide-and-seek, read books,
and sample pie. All the while Mama
compares their fondness for trees, honey,
and a collection of quaint teddy bears to
the amount of her love for her youngster,
and the numbers increase sequentially.
Lots of nuzzling and whispers
at the end help create a sweet bedtime
closing.” —School Library Journal
