Kelly Bear Books

Leah reads to children (photo.

Children, ages 3-9, find the Kelly Bear books fun to read again and again. All children readily identify with the green bear who shares his experiences. (Over 250,000 books sold!)


Why do children LOVE Kelly Bear?
Kelly Bear shares his feelings and experiences FIRST and then asks children about their lives. The interaction books are to be read by a teacher or relative with a child or children. After the adult reads the questions on each page, children respond as though they are conversing with Kelly Bear, so it is easier for them to speak openly. When the adult listens carefully and repeats what the child says, the child feels valued and accepted. The resulting adult-child communication and bonding fosters the child's self-confidence. The books further children's social, emotional, physical and intellectual development.
