review 1: A young bear is bored. There's nothing to do. With his dad's help, he puts his imagination to good use and finds quite a lot to do. (They go visit the moon!)What I thought: What a great book! It's all in the simplicity of both the text and illustrations. I liked the bears' use of imagination. This book will show kids how important imagination is. Reminds me of Emily Dickinson's poem about the prairie. Story Time Themes: Imagination (pair with Nell's Elf and The Golden Egg Book); Bears
review 2: You just can't do a "create the picture adventure as you go" picture book without evoking Harold and the Purple Crayon. Anything else comes across as a bad imitation. Which is not to say that this book was bad. In fact, I found the little aquare-eared bear quite endea... morering. And I loved the slow start. Nothing to do. No really, nothing to do. It was funny and anyone who has ever been bored can relate.I'm just saying there will only ever be one Purple Crayon so don't even try. Lower the crayon and slowing back away. less
