Ready to Read, Ready to Roll! Roller Bears by Eric Seltzer

Spring has sprung and the bears are up and ready to roll!

THEY WAKE UP EARLY AND SKATE UNTIL LATE!

The bears suit up in helmets and pads in red and blue and roll out for fun on wheels. What do they do? Some skate solo, and some in pairs, and when they get tired, they snooze in big chairs!

They skate to the park to swing and slide. And then they go for a hot-air balloon ride. They plan for a party and arrive from afar. Some row their own boat, some drive in a car. One bear brings a cake in the shape of a skate. There are presents and things to drink, and bears dressed in pink who skate in a rink.

But autumn comes and then it grows chilly. They hang up their skates. The bears just can't wait. They take to their beds to hibernate!

Eric Seltzner's early beginning reader, Roller Bears (Ready-to-Reads) (Simon Spotlight, 2020), illustrated whimsically by Tom Disbury, uses rhyme and rhythm and visual cues to help early readers who are ready to roll to sound out the vocabulary in this short and lively Ready to Read book.
