"""Toddler-PreS-This is a charming book. It's ""inspired by"" the Bill Martin/Eric Carle original, and the art is from the ""World of Eric Carle"" collection, but there is no actual author or illustrator. The iconic Brown Bear is in the forest and exploring the alphabet. First he finds things to eat that start with the letters from A through H, and then finds friends to play with that have names starting with the letters I through P. After ""porcupines prickling"" the remaining letters are devoted to sounds of the forest. The alphabet gets a very clever wind-up as a tired Brown Bear lumbers along: ""Uh-oh getting tired, very tired, wobble, wobble, extra sleepy, yawn, zzzzz."" VERDICT Perfect preschooler fare, with a place in most children's collections."" -John Scott via School Library Journal"

Author Information

Eric Carle (1929-2021) was one of America's leading children's book illustrators and authors. Author of more than seventy books, his picture book career started when Bill Martin Jr invited him to create the illustrations for Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? That book that went on to sell millions of copies worldwide and Eric soon began writing and illustrating his own books, eventually creating the bestselling classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Born in the United States, Eric also spent many of his early years in Germany where he studied typography and graphic art at the Academy of Applied Art in Stuttgart. Carle was the recipient of many honors including the American Library Association's Children's Literature Legacy Award and the Original Art Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society of Illustrators. In addition to writing and illustrating books of his own, he also collaborated on several others, including Bill Martin Jr's Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?, Isaac Bashevis Singer's Why Noah Chose the Dove, and the Eric Carle and Friends' What's Your Favorite picture book series. The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, which Carle and his wife Bobbie founded, opened in Amherst, Massachusetts in 2002.
