Jesse Bear, What Will You Wear?: excellent children's book
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.

A must have for baby and toddlers.
My daughter has loved this book since receiving it on her first birthday. We like that Mommy, Daddy and Jesse bear are interactive in the story.The ryhming text makes it easy and enjoyable to read after a nonstop day.

My daughter loves it!
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.

From the library to our home
My pre-schooler brought this book home after her weekly visit to her school library. One week with this book was simply not enough. All of my children adored this book as much as I did so, therefore, I bought it.

Another addition to my baby gift bag
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! ...

Charming story enhanced with affectionate color drawings.
Guess Who's Coming, Jesse Bear is the latest of the Jesse Bear series, a charming set of soft-cover picturebooks about young Jesse Bear, his family, and his friends. In Guess Who's Coming, Jesse Bear, the young ursine shares a delightful week-long visit from his cousin, with outdoor excursions, playtime and happy memories. Written by Nancy White Carlstrom in simple, friendly rhyming verse, and illustrated by Bruce Degen with affectionate color drawings, Guess Who's Coming, Jesse Bear is a highly enjoyable and recommended read-aloud story.

Wonderful series of Jesse Bear
I now have 5 Jesse Bear books, Guess who's Coming Jesse Bear
is a great book for my grandchildren. They are easy to read and my grandson who's 2 has memorized some of the words. Again there is nothing more satisfying to sit and read to my grandchildren. Knowing the knowledge they get is the best. I will be watching for more of Jesse Bear books in the future!

cute and well-done
My preschool kids love this story, especially when they learn that even little people can have complex relationships with each other. ... Read more

Great, Entertaining, Colorful
My 2-1/2-year-old LOVES this book.I took a chance and ordered it without reading much about it, but what a great find.She wants it read to her at least a few times a week.The pictures are delightful and the story is adorable.The refrain, WHAT A SCARE, JESSE BEAR is so fun for a child to say every couple of pages, and gets him/her involved in the story.

Halloween is a wonderful and terrible thing when you're 2.
The best Halloween book for little ones out there!Carlstrom does a fantastic job of capturing the excitement, delight, and apprehension that Halloween brings to small people.Jesse, Papa and Grandma visit the pumpkin patch and carve a pumpkin, which is great fun.But turn out the lights and light the jack o'lantern, and it's a little bit scary.For his costume, Jesse finds the perfect mask -- then scares himself silly when he puts it on and looks in the mirror.Trick or treating sounds good in theory, but where did all these other spooky folks come from?If you have a little person who's both delighted and terrified by Halloween, this is the perfect book for you.If not, buy it just for the rollicking rhyme and gorgeous illustrations.A must-have for all toddler households. ...
