Bright colors? Check. Detailed illustrations? Check. Cozy creatures? Check. Exploration of the world at the level of a toddler? Check check check check!!!! Ashley Wolff’s newest title, Baby Bear Sees Blue (9781442413061) takes a mama and baby bear throughout their day in which Baby Bear sees and enjoys all the colors nature has to offer. With picture perfect questions and answers, we get to go along. “In the den’s dark wall, an opening slowly fills with light. A glow creeps in. ‘Who is warming me, Mama?’ asks Baby Bear. ‘That is the sun,’ Mama says.” And with the turn of a page “Baby Bear sees yellow.” With the cozy relationship between mother and child, I kept thinking about McCloskey’s Blueberries for Sal. Imagine my delight when reading the author’s note I realize Sal was an inspiration for this delightful gem. I'm recommending this one for ages 2 to 5.
