3 months & up. Introduce young children to early literacy concepts with the Brown Bear Friends Board Books Set, a perfect blend of literacy, sensory play, and foundational skill-building. Each book in this charming set explores a key theme - numbers, colors, shapes, and more - through rhythmic read-aloud text. Inspired by Eric Carle's Brown Bear character, these books engage young readers with bold, colorful illustrations. Little hands will love the crinkly, textured covers that offer tactile stimulation. Built with sturdy board pages, they're perfectly sized for little hands and durable enough for repeated use at home or in the classroom. These books make an excellent addition to infant and toddler classrooms, early literacy centers, or a baby's first home library, helping lay the groundwork for a lifelong love of reading.
