Summary: countdown to christmas
Review: Snowbear is so excited that December is finally here! He has lots of things to do each day. Follow his adventures as the month flys by. He does things like decorates the Christmas Tree, watches his favorite holiday movies, and bakes Christmas goodies. When Christmas Day arrives he has a great day just being together with his friends.


The college illustrations were really fun to look at and added a lot to this simple picture book. Also the concept of counting is introduced in the story. This book would be great for a preschool class to share around Christmas.


Yes I would recommend the book to others. It's a great book to share with your family on any day in December!

Summary: Wonderful New Holiday Children's Book That Teaches Numbers
Review: The month of December is very special for Snowbear, as it is home to the Christmas holiday. So Snowbear begins making preparations for the big day. He puts up his decorations, sends out Christmas cards, writes a letter to Santa Claus at the North Pole, buys gifts for all of his friends, rides his sled, makes hot chocolate and cookies, and tons more. And as each day passes, Snowbear's excitement increases at the prospect of the holiday that is quickly coming.

Theresa Smythe has created a wonderful new children's book that captures the excitement that everyone feels around the Christmas holiday, while inserting a subtle teaching method, that will help young readers learn to count from 1 to 25 with the help of Snowbear. Filled with an easy-to-read story, and lovely illustrations SNOWBEAR'S CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN will be a favorite among parents, and children, as well as educators.
