THIS BEARS REPEATED LISTENINGS !

As much as I enjoy audio books I'll admit that my initial reaction to this one wasn't overly enthusiastic. The first in this series was written forty-some years ago, and has captivated generations. It has been reprinted almost countless times in a variety of editions. The Bear stories are known and loved by millions.

To top that, what could these stories possibly be without seeing Eric Carle's iconic illustrations?

I learned the answer to that question with the first few minutes of this reading by Academy-Award winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow. She offers a warm, winning narration of the Bear stories that enchants both young and older ears. So captivating is her voice and delivery that the stories come to life in listener's minds as if for the first time.

It's a special treat to have all of the tales available on one CD, there couldn't be a more perfect bedtime story.
