Most children have a stuffed teddy bear that they already love. So it is somewhat an understatement that they love bears already. Well, here is another that they will love. There are teddy bear stories abounding in libraries and book stores - example: Winnie the Pooh, that beloved Pooh-bear. So it is not a far stretch to say that the child in your life will fall in love with 'bear' in Bear in Love.
Author Daniel Pinkwater understands children and what they like to hear and see in a story. So he has created a gentle bear who awakens to a gift from an unknown friend. A friend he wants to engage. A friend whom he, too, tries to befriend with a gift.
Amble along with bear as he discovers his new friend. Enjoy the beautiful illustrations. Have the child to whom you are reading this book discover details in the art and in the story that enlighten and teach. Enjoy!

Hello from my tour of the Kid Lit Blog Hop! I love the artwork in these images. I'll definitely add it to our Wish List!
ReplyDeleteThe illustrations remind me of the original Winnie the Pooh books (not the Disney-fied ones!) I've run across these "Bear" books recently and they look so sweet. Thanks for linking in to the Kid Lit Blog Hop. I assume Canadians are not eligible for this giveaway? Cheers!
