 Eric the Math Bear March 5, 2005
I read this story to my son who is almost six years old. He really enjoyed having to find and count all the different things that Eric likes to count on his way to work. The pictures are very colorful and busy which helped keep his attention. There is a little violence that I was surprised by in the book. Two polar bears attempt to rob the bank that Eric works at, they call him "tomato face", and threaten to eat his new friend Erica. I felt that the book could have gone a much better direction than that. To me, those three events seemed a little unappropriate for younger readers. When the story was over, my son wanted to go back to the page where he had to find and count the different things Eric liked to count. I even had him find and count other items that were in the picture and he really enjoyed that as well. I liked how it helped him with his counting and how it challenged him to find the items I asked for.
 Destiny Speaks April 3, 2004
Eric is a Red Bear who loves numbers, so where else would h have a job except in the BANK? He foils a bank robbery using the twos times tables, finds a new girlfriend who loves numbers as much as he does, and scoots off on his Vespa to a destiny fulfilled. Not for preschoolers, I'd use this one with second graders and older kids and challenge them to write their OWN arithmetical adventures for Eric the Red to continue his numbered days.
