Bears on Wheels

This Step 1 Step into Reading Math Reader offers a hilarious and unique approach to addition and subtraction, courtesy of the Berenstains. Bears on wheels—unicycles, bikes, and trikes—gradually increase in number, engaging in silly antics that will make beginning readers giggle as they also learn beginning math skills. Step 1 Readers feature big type and easy words for children who know the alphabet and are eager to begin reading. Rhymes and rhythmic text, paired with picture clues, help children decode the story.

Over the course of fifty years, Stan and Jan Berenstain wrote and illustrated hundreds of books about the Berenstain Bears in dozens of formats, from board books to beginning readers. Some of the most enduring are the stories in the groundbreaking Bright and Early Books and Beginner Books series.
