A beautifully told story about the close relationship between a father bear and his son.
You could read this book with two views in mind; friendship, sharing and playing or the strong bond children have with a loved one. The story can also be read with the theme of father and son in mind.

I love the artwork of Bill Peet. I almost feel like I’m watching the cartoon of this. Every thing in the picture feels like it has a personality. He had a real gift for bringing objects to life on paper. I think this is my 3rd book of Bill’s and I have to say this didn’t seem to be quite as special. It’s...

I cannot believe I have not read this before! It’s a brilliant idea to follow the Jolly Postman on his rounds. The authors have cleverly interwoven the stories of Jack & The Beanstalk, Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz. I love the little extras throughout the book....

Winter is one of my favorite times of...

I loved some of Richard Scarry's books but not all of them. I found that a lot of his books aimed at the higher aged kids and the more advanced readers. This alphabet book is a cute idea with the two main critters going on an adventure to find all the missing letters of the alphabet. They find them at the beginning,...
