Happy Birthday, Jesse Bear!

This story is one of the sweetest picture books I've seen in ages. It tells the story of Jesse Bear's birthday which turns out to be a classic birthday at-home birthday party. (The kind I remember from my youth.)There are a few friends, presents, games like musical chairs and sack races, and even a very simple but enchanting treasure hunt. At the end we see the whole family, sleepy but happy, following a very special day. My 2 year old son and my 4 year old daughter absolutely adore this book and ask for it almost every day. In fact, my son's birthday party was very similar to the one featured in this book because he loves it so much. We ended up purchasing him his own copy and giving it to him as a birthday present. Very highly recommended and worth finding a used copy if not in print.

Our son (soon to be 2 years old)loves this book. His birthday approaches, so he is excited to hear about birthdays in general. He has also been to a number of other parties recently, which helps. All in all a very happy book.

My 3 year old grandson loves to come in and sit on Nana's lap to read "Jesse Bear Books" They keep him occupied and also calms him down before sleep. A great book!!

Again this series of Jesse Bear books are wonderful to read and fun for my grandson! One of the best thing in life are opening the doors to reading to your children/grandchildren.
