Summary: perfect for our almost 2 year old
Review: As she approaches her 2nd birthday, our little girl is getting to the point now where simple board books are too boring, but lengthy stories are still too much for her to absorb. We stumbled across this Jesse Bear book somehow, and it's perfect for her. The illustrations are bright and pleasing. Plus, she can really relate to Jesse's typical day- getting dressed, playing, eating, Daddy coming home from work, bathing, and going to bed. Now I just need to find more books like this! One recommendation: If your child doesn't tear pages, I'd get the hardcover edition. First, I borrowed the hardcover from our library and then I ordered the board book from Amazon. The board book is much smaller than the hardcover, so now my daughter asks for me to read "BIG Jesse Bear book," and I have to explain that we only have the small one!

Summary: Great little book
Review: At first, I wasn't too sure about this book when we received it as a gift, but now, my little one at 3 just loves it. I have to read it over, and over, and over, and he still wants to take it to bed. It's a very cute little story about what a little bear wears all day, but also what he does during his day. My little one particularly likes the "ants in my pants" part, but it is a very entertaining book and quite cute. Definitely a must for bedtime.

Summary: charmer
Review: I enjoy reading this book to my children and they enjoy having it read to them. The story line is one that my son can relate to because it's all about Jesse Bear's day and what he wears for each activity. The rhymes are cute and have a rythm that make this book easy to read. The pictures are bright and cheery. If you have a toddler around, this book is a good one to buy.

Summary: My daughter loves it!
Review: I got this book for my daughter's second birthday along with 3 others. This is her favorite! She loves to follow along with Jesse's day from playing in the sand, to the part when Daddy comes home and finally getting ready for bed. Great illustrations and rhyming text.

Summary: Jesse Bear, What Will You Wear?: excellent children's book
Review: Jesse Bear, What Will You Wear?, is an excellent book. This book focuses on younger children, but is interesting and fun for all to read. I am currently 16 years old and I have owned this book since I was very little. One can tell by the condition of the cover it was a very well liked bedtime story. The story tells of Jesse, a little bear cub, and what he does during the day. Jesse goes through the story telling what he wears for every activity he does, whether it is sand, a shirt or his pajamas. Jesse is a very mischevious, and spunky little cub who will keep you paying attention throughout the story. This book has great illustrations and will be treasured forever.

Summary: From the library to our home
Review: This book is just delightful. Jesse Bear, the toddler protagonist, spends his day "wearing" different items -- from a shirt to sand to his chair (my son's favorite). The story is told in rollicking rhyme with gorgeous illustrations. I'm a fan of board books for this age group -- they tend to be a little hard on the paper versions. A definite must-have!

Summary: Needs updating
Review: We got this book from the library, and my daughter (18 mo) loves it because it is relevant -- getting dressed, eating, washing hands, playing, getting ready for bed, etc. And the rhymes are nice. BUT give me a break! The mamma bear in an apron, the daddy coming home and reading his newspaper!? Please. This is 2004, not 1954. There is no reason that a book like this has to teach stereotypes. This is disappointing, because otherwise I would be happy to have this on my daughter's bookshelf. In short, buyers beware.

Summary: perfect for our almost 2 year old
Review: We love Jesse Bear. My husband and I are touched by the way our now 15 months old baby loves this book...she likes to hear the story over and over (like is normal for all kids at this age) a lot more than she like to hear other stories, she knows many words and acts out (in her very own way) the things that Jesse Bear is doing. When Jesse Bear's pants dance she dances, she touches her toes and screams TOES! when Jesse Bear is playing with a rose in his toes...She waits excited for the part about Jesse Bear wearing his CHAIR! and for the carrots and PEAS!, she loves the blanket that's blue and plays peek-a-boo and gives "bear hugs" to us...She just totally loves it. The illustrations of the book are beautifully done...Although I did notice that the papa bear comes home at night just for bath and bed time I don't consider that to be incorrect at all...the story portraits a very loving papa bear who -in this case like for many real life families- is working out all day. The mama is home taking care of Jesse Bear...I think this story could represent any happy family's normal day, whether is the mom or the dad working out of the home or both, the story has a main caregiver with the child all day and a loving parent who comes later on. The rhyme is nice, sweet and musical. My daughter can spend a long time just browsing through its pages and mumbling with joy things about Jesse Bear's adventures. This book is MUST HAVE for babies and young children.
