Review

Bear hug is a gentle animal tale that takes readers through an entire year of growth. As the seasons change so does the bear, his behavior, and the environment.

The primary attraction to this book is the lovely collage art work done by the author/illustrator. Each page presents new animals and plants exposing readers to various stimuli while it depicts the lifestyle of bears.

Place this is public library collections as well as in K-3 media centers. Art and science teachers would love this book on their classroom shelves.

My only concern is the very small font used on the reversal page

Overall Book Score: very good
