Baby Bear has so much to learn about the world! From the moment he wakes until it's time to curl up and go to sleep, he explores outside with his mama. They see green leaves, blue jays, brown trout, and--best of all--a patch of yummy red strawberries.

From bestselling author-illustrator Ashley Wolff, here is a clever concept book that combines engaging and intricate linocut illustrations with a story that enthusiastically encourages children to identify a variety of vibrant colors. Young readers will delight in this chance to join Baby Bear as he discovers the colorful wonders of his lively, leafy forest home.



Review Quotes




* "Wolff s ("Compost Stew") watercolor-tinted linocuts make each page of this story simultaneously cozy and dramatic cozy because they star a fuzzy bear cub and his mother, and dramatic because each one contrasts dark shapes with washes of light and color.... Children will be absorbed by the complex textures of Wolff s linocuts, the Japanese woodblock style graded shades of the sky, and the reassuring comfort of a world that is always safely guarded by Mama Bear."

--"Publishers Weekly, "December 5, 2011, *STAR"

"Wolff s illustrations, black linoleum-block prints washed with watercolors, feature bold lines, strong
compositions, and sensitive uses of color that will draw readers into the pictures. Excellent for group
sharing.... The quiet text is made up of Baby Bear s questions about the sensory wonders of his world and his mother s replies, and given a chance, young children will be happy to supply the answers first. An engaging concept book with just enough narrative for its audience."

--"Booklist, "February 1, 2012"

The pacing of the book is perfectly suited to its young audience. With each new encounter Baby Bear s question and Mama s answer occur on one double-page spread while the next spread pauses to let Baby Bear (and readers) revel in the colors and in nature . Wolff s art linoleum block prints hand-colored with watercolor capture not only the glories of the natural world but also the loving relationship between parent and child. Satisfyingly, the book comes full circle, ending at bedtime: Good night, Baby Bear, Mama says. Good night, Mama, says Baby Bear. Then Baby Bear closes his eyes and sees nothing but deep, soft black.

"The Horn Book", March/April 2012"

There s no better way to teach little ones their colors than with the whimsical, wonder-filled Baby Bear Sees Blue by Ashley Wolff.

"The Missourian", February 11-12, 2012"

"Inspired by the mother bear and cub in "Blueberries for Sal, "Wolff creates a gentel story for toddlers that introduces colors and images from the natural world.... Wolff's lovely compositions feature inked linoleum block prints that render those bears a strinkingly deep, matte black. Lush, washy watercolors illuminate the scenes--colors in the downpour's puddles reflect a rainbow. Curious Baby Bear is 100-percent toddler, and Wolff skillfully captures both the bear-ish...and the human.... Imbued with a spirit of exploration, fostered by parental protection, Baby Bear's colorful adventures will enrich repeat bedtime read-alouds."

--"Kirkus Reviews, "December 15, 2011

"Luscious full-page linoleum print and watercolor illustrations delight with bright colors.... It would work well in storytimes or one on one."

--"School Library Journal, "January 2012

Beautiful little book. A theme of a mama showing her baby the world, naming animals/elements in nature and also identifying colors. I enjoy looking at the pictures as much as my toddler!
