A dapper polar bear has an elegant New Year's party and invites all of his animal friends—one whale, two horses, three cows, and so forth until midnight. As each party animal arrives, children learn to count . . . AND tell time. Teachers rate this as one of the best counting books available.

P. Bear is having a New Year's Party and all his best-dressed friends are invited. Each time the clock strikes the hour, a corresponding group number of exotic animals shows up. By midnight, P. Bear has a full house and your child will have a grasp of the clock face.This sturdy board book is attractively illustrated and is great for years of childhood. The simple black, white and red illustrations are perfect for newborn eyes as parents first read aloud to their babies. The board book is handy for toddlers who love to be rough with their beloved stories. The sequential numbers teach counting to preschoolers and the reference to time with the appropriate clock-face on each page sets a great foundation for learning to tell time. Besides, the book is full of exotic animals. What child doesn't enjoy that?Armchair Interviews says: P. Bear's New Year's Party is an overall great book from birth to six and beyond.

I am a kindergarten teacher. Our class uses this book to learn how to tell time to the hour; read number words of one - twelve; learn vocabulary words such as "invitation" "few" "herd" "bunch" "half-dozen" "a pack" "a flock" "dozen" and other vocabulary words. Beautiful illustrations using only black, white and red.Another teacher introduced me to this book and now all four Kindergarten teachers are using this book in our classrooms. I am glad to see that a paperback will be available so I can offer this to the students to use instead of using my hardback copy. The hardback copy did offer the opportunity to discuss that the book has a "jacket to protect the book, just like you wear a jacket to protect you from the weather."I can hardly wait for this book to be available in the paperback. This is a highly recommended book not just to use in the classroom, but for families to use at home!

My two year old enjoys this book no end. We love the illustrations of all the black-and-white creatures (orca, penguin, panda) and the concept of them all showing up for a black tie party is very clever. Will look for more from the same author and illustrator.
