PRAISE FOR It Bears Repeating:

“An intriguing, culturally responsive primer . . . It does, in fact, bear repeating.” —Kirkus Reviews

“In her debut for children, Tagaq explores gentler territory while remaining true to her roots.” —Publishers Weekly

“Rich language and striking illustrations take this counting book beyond the standard fare. A real treat and recommended.” —School Library Journal

“[Both] culturally specific and universal, and rewards repeated readings that are refreshing both literally and figuratively.” —Imaginary Elevators

“[A] most worthy addition to home collections as well as libraries serving the pre and early school audience. Highly recommended.” —CM: Canadian Review of Materials

“The book has great potential for storytime when children are a bit antsy — they can stretch and wiggle right along with the bears.” —Hakai Magazine

“Beginning with one proud polar bear standing tall and ending with 10 bears waving goodbye, the delightful counting book shows polar bears in all their forms: slippery and fast, crafty and cool, hungry and proud. Fun for kids to count along while they learn about polar bears and all of their daily activities.” —Story Monsters Ink
