Well, you know children don’t always behave. And that includes baby bears.
Lynn Plourde’s new book, Baby Bear’s NOT Hibernating, is sure to become a classic. With wonderful illustrations by Teri Weidner, it’s no surprise that Lynn has given us another great book. After all, she’s written thirty children’s books including my favorite, A Moosey Christmas, in which the reindeer take the night off and moose pull Santa’s sleigh. I’ll be reading that one, as well as Baby Bear, to my 2 ½ year old granddaughter this Christmas.
In her new book, baby bear is having too much fun with his friends, a moose, owl, and hare, to hibernate with his parents for the winter. But oh, that cold and snow is something he did not anticipate! Nor did he realize there’s nothing for him to eat in the winter.
Well, it’s a great learning experience for him, for sure! If only it was this easy with our kids.
There’s a lot about friendship and parenting here, and a great section at the end about bears. Published by Down East Books, Baby Bear’s NOT Hibernating will make a great Christmas gift!
