And I forgot entirely to post last week's Storytime!
I love teddy bears. So many stories, so many possibilities. This time around we focused on friendship.
The Sniffles for Bear (A Library Book for Bear)
Bonny Becker, Kady MacDonald Denton
ISBN: 9780763647568
Previously reviewed here.
Still adorable, and lots of opportunities for overacting, which is generally a big hit with the little ones.
Where's My Teddy
Jez Alborough
ISBN: 9781442006027
An oversized picture book with faux-naive art centered in a looming (yet unscary) forest.
I have used this book, and it's partner My Friend Bear many times before, but not since I've been reviewing. They're both adorable rhyming patter books that tell a sweet story of a pair of children (human and bear) losing their teddies in the woods, and what happens when there's a bit of a mix-up. Super sweet, super gentle, and a blast to read. Very quick story that feels solid and full, despite the short duration.
A Splendid Friend Indeed
Suzanne Bloom
ISBN: 9781590782866
Thick crayonish lines and bright primary colors make this a visual treat.
This book would be perfect for demonstrating body language. Bear never says a word (Duck has that market cornered) but it's beautifully obvious how he feels about the neverending attentions of his excitable friend. However, by the end, the irrepressible Duck has managed to break through Bear's shell, and the two friends hug it out. So adorable.
