Cullen interactively shares the story with a felt board.

Every story in the series not only entertains, but also deliberately develops children’s skills such as: matching and sequencing, problem solving, listening, thinking, creativity, rhyming, values, numbers and letters, and even story telling. Adults will recognize how quickly their children’s imagination and communication can soar. Children can use each felt board story to retell a story or to imagine many new stories.
"The Brown Bear story incorporates so many skills, for example: animal identification, colors recognition, sizes, and rhyming,” states Cullen Wood, Founder of Cullen's Abc's. "Children quickly engage with the vibrant colors of the felt pieces. And since the felt pieces are made of such high quality, they will last through many years of play. A great value in today’s economy."
"Cullen is so creative in her story telling," comments Karen Clark, Executive National Director of Story Time Felts. "She always puts her own special touch on each story. In the Brown Bear story, she tells the story by using the range of felt pieces from largest to smallest. Children enjoy the story, while learning about sequence and size. Parents can adopt this version or create their own family story tradition."
