Bear on a Bike Book and First Puzzles

Bear on a Bike - Another book from the Bear series, this one is available in board book, paperback and even Spanish. This is a fun book where a little boy follows Bear, first on a bike to the market, then a raft to the jungle, and through several other modes of transportation to increasingly further away locales until the final page where Bear flies into space on a rocket. As with all of the other Bear books, the illustrations in this book are bright, cheerful and adorable. If you like the illustrations as well as I do, be sure to check out:

Bear on the Go First Puzzles - This adorable puzzle set for ages 2+ by Mudpuppy Press includes four puzzles featuring the artwork from the book Bear on a Bike. Each puzzle consists of four pieces. You can separate the pieces of each puzzle for younger children, and then mix them all together and let the child sort them before doing the puzzles when they are ready for more of a challenge. My daughter has a couple of other sets of these and sometimes likes to mix all of the pieces from all three sets together before doing the puzzles. The box the puzzles come in is cute and sturdy enough to use for storing the puzzles, and paired with the Bear on a Bike book would make a great gift for a toddler!
