From Publishers Weekly Ever-popular teddy bears are the unifying force in this collection of adaptations of songs, jump-rope rhymes, chants and poems. Instead of 'Ten Little Indians,' there is 'Ten Little Teddy Bears' 'Star Light, Star Bright' becomes 'Bear Light, Bear Bright' and a teddy bear is the star of 'Eenie, Meenie.' Schweninger"s brightly animated illustrations feature bears of every size, whether rollicking or in repose, who enhance every page of the book. Ages 2-7.

From School Library Journal Grade 1-3-- Babette, a little mouse, is abandoned at birth by her mother and adopted and nurtured by a kindly gentleman blackbird. This may be well and good, even rather conventional yet there are jarring phrases such as, 'a mouse came scurrying across Paris. She was pregnant right up to her whiskers,' and events such as Sly Tom (the park cat), who was considered a dreadful monster, terrorizing the park by scratching babies and eating goldfish. In light of these, finding an appropriate audience for such a tale may be problematic. Yet it is not worth looking very hard, as the story"s events are highly illogical, the ending is silly and abrupt, and the softly colored cartoon-like illustrations, while humorous, are not particularly inspired. --J.
