Review
"The Hagues have created one adorable bear for every letter of the alphabet and describe each teddy's attributes in lilting rhyme and resplendent pictures....Twenty-six bits of whimsy for bear devotees of all ages."--Booklist, starred review

"Through lyrical rhyme and visual sense, the Hagues have created a delightful bear menagerie in Alphabears. Each letter of the alphabet is introduced through a special teddy bear, whose unique qualities are described in rhyme. Each illustration is framed in white above the large-print text. A treasure for family reading and teddy-bear lovers everywhere!"--School Library Journal

Customer Reviews

What a delight!
Alphabears is a delightful introduction to the ABCs. Each letter is introduced as the name of a teddy bear with a distinct personality tied into the same letter. Each letter has two rhyming lines. The illustrations are outstanding. They are gentle and harken back to an earlier time. It is incredible that this book was written and illustrated in the 80's. It is a very old-fashioned ABC book and will delight old and young alike!

This is a charmingly illustrated book with a story on every page. My son at 3 used to stop me and ask about the scenes - why is this? who is that? where are they going? Great for imaginative reading and story telling.

Adorable book!
I love the illustrations in this book - they are so sweet. I had bought this book for my own daughter when she was a baby and now I just bought it for my twin grandsons.
