What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Bad weather frightens Bear, but his woodland friends are there to help him in this sweet, reassuring Bear story from bestselling duo Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman! In the deep, dark woods by the Strawberry Vale, a big bear lumbers down a small, crooked trail… The sun is setting and it’s getting chilly. When Bear’s friends discover that he is not at home in his lair, they march out into the cold to find their pal. Friends don’t let friends stay lost! Wren, Owl, and Raven take to the skies while Badger, Mole, and Mouse search on the ground. Pretty soon Bear is found, and once he’s back in his cave, he feels quite safe with his friends all around.

    This book has great cadence and illustrations to accompany the sweet story. The use of repetition "and the bear feels scared" is great for budding readers and also creates a real emotional connection with the reader. It's important to remember when you're scared that you have people who love you who want to help you and bring you back safe, and I think that's the truly fantastic message of this book.
