Where, oh where, is Barnaby bear? I loved the illustrations and rhyme of this story. There were many imaginative adventures of little Barnaby bear. Children are going to love this story. It would be fun to create themed crafts around this story and ask children about the various adventures.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC copy of this book.
Read and reviewed by seven-year-old Amy.
‘Where oh Where is Barnaby Bear’ is a picture book. Barnaby Bear is out somewhere, so Barnaby Bear’s friends are looking for him. But where is he? Read this fantastic picture book to find out! The sentences in this book rhyme, making this book even funnier than it would be without rhyming.
This book has colorful illustrations and a beautiful cover. The cover was enough to make me think this book must be hilarious! I liked the book’s title, too.
I recommend this book to children three years and above.
I give this book 5/5 stars as I really loved it.

This rhyming book is going to be a favorite of little ones! Barnaby is adorable and experiences all kinds of adventures as the book continually asks where he is. Barnaby travels from balloon rides, to surfing, to go out tea. Adorable. Perfect bedtime read, as Barnaby is finally found at the end of the day cozy and asleep in his bed.

This is a wonderful little children's book which has bright, colourful illustrations and small amounts of text which a small child will enjoy. The story is about a bear called Barnaby and the different places where he could be. On each page there are a lot of things for a child to look at and point out and at the end of the story Barnaby is found in a cosy, snuggly place which will make a child feel happy and relaxed and more able to go to sleep, so this book is perfect for bedtime. My daughter loved this book and I did too.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This delightful board book with it's rhyming text and colourful illustrations is perfect for the targeted age-group. Little ones will discover the whereabouts of adorable Barnaby Bear as he ventures to the moon, soars high in a weather balloon, sails on the back of a whale, or maybe he has gone out to tea? ... just to name a few. The Barnaby Bear children's book series is full of action, wonderful new vocabulary and is both engaging and fun!

"Where, Oh Where, Is Barnaby Bear?" is a perfect bedtime story to share with your little one (ones). I highly recommend it.

Arc received from Netgalley for an honest review

Where, Oh Where, Is Barnaby Bear? is a very sweet, adorable book with lots of colours and rhymes. I read it with my 19 month old niece and she sat and listened to me the entire time.

The art is simple yet cute. A lot of different images are on each page, making it even more fun for a young child to look at the different things on the pages while you read to them.
I can see this being an easy read to remember for a toddler or child. The rhyming and repetition is great for rereading and allowing them to read it back to you once they've heard it enough.

My son has real enjoyed this book. It is reptative and very good for younger babies and toddler. My toddler real loves Barnaby and we have reread this book multiple times. The theme are really nice for kids and its an easy story for them to read along to.

The rhyming and repetitive questions make this book excellent for young readers. There are many places Barnaby Bear could be, but he is in the last place you look.

Barnaby Bear seems to go on quite the adventures through this book of beautifully illustrations. My grandson loved the colors and the things Barnaby did. A very cute book.

Vibrant colors, exciting adventures, and the most inquisitive yet respectful character I’ve seen in a children’s book, makes this a must-read for any eagerly-awaited storytime with grandma or grandpa!! Barnaby Bear gets this “Mema’s” Seal of Approval. Counting the days until I can purchase “Where, oh where, is Barnaby Bear?”

This is such an adorable book with great colorful illustrations. It's fun story about Barnaby Bear going on a number of adventures and can be a good bedtime read as well. The kids asked to hear it again right away, which is always a strong endorsement.
Many thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the advance copy.

This was a really cute book. The art was bright, lush, and detailed and the bear character was involved in activities that would engage young kids. The rhymes and meter were also fun and consistent, which would lead to an enjoyable reading experience.
