Review

This tale of sweet young bears is about a sledding outing. Four small bears and a big brown bear go sledding with their one small sled. Only two can slide at a time. They get tired of sharing the sled, so big bear becomes the sled for the four small bears. The story is told in rhyming verse. It is a great example of sharing and problem solving. Illustrations are clear, with lots of white space on the page. Preschoolers and kindergarten children will be enchanted by the bears. A great story time choice.

Overall Book Score: good
