In this first book of the Dooley Bear Adventures series, we are introduced to Dooley Bear and his silliness. He meets Mason the Muskrat who tells him tales of travel and adventure.

Written by Lisa Cyrier, a speech language pathologist, the Dooley Bear Adventures series is more than just a collection of books, it's an educational journey.

Review Highlights:
The story is unique, attention-grabbing, and age appropriate. Our kids loved it, and we loved that it broadened their horizons - exposing them to the wonders of the world and instilling the "travel bug" that has enriched our lives.
Picture book reading is often a passive learning activity, but it can be so much more when parents understand how to engage their children with the content and illustrations. Through the parent handbook and app, the author, Lisa Cyrier, does as fantastic job of fostering and modeling the self-questioning process that promotes the development of language, reflection, analysis, evaluation, observation, and many more critical thinking skills. The concept is not new, but few picture books give parents the exact questions to engage their children in this manner. We highly recommend this book.
