The Miniature Teddy Bears' Picnic

Rating:
Summary: A song turned into a book
Review: This book takes the song 'The Teddy Bear's Picnic' by Jimmy Kennedy and gives it illustrations. The song is about how on their day off, all the teddy bears that ever there was will gather there (in the woods) for certain, because today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic. The song then goes on to describe what happens at the picnic. The song is very cute, and has a very catchy tune, which cannot (unfortunately) be heard because this is a book. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful, and are what makes this book worthwhile. The bears look very cute, cuddly and realistic. The book itself is smaller than a normal book; perhaps that is what the 'miniature' in the title means. It is only 0.25 x 5.25 x 4.00, while most picture books are bigger.

In my opinion the best way to read this book is with the tune playing, either out loud, or in your head. I think hearing the tune while reading this book adds a certain something that makes the book good. If it weren't for the song, I probably would only give this book four stars. If you haven't heard the song, there are several websites that play it.
