review 1: The Book, Maudie and Bear, by Jan Ormerod & Freya Blackwood is a book about a little girl named Maudie and her friend who is a bear, which is told through 5 little short stories. Maudie is a little bossy, and wants things to be done her way. She is always telling bear what to do and what not to do. However their relationship with each other is like a mother and daughter’s relationship, where the daughter would sometimes behave badly, but the mother’s attitude would still be the same with her child. The bear’s feeling for her are firm, and don’t change throughout the story.This book was awarded the Early Childhood Picture Book of the Year 2011 by the Children's Book Council of Australia. The book overall is well organized, with nice illustrations, good font size, ni... morece colored pictures which look like a mixture of water colors and pencil sketch. It is divided up into five short stories, so kids can have a variety of stories. I think it is a really good book, well suitable for young readers.
review 2: Is this a commentary on motherhood, on how mothers slave and sacrifice for their thankless, selfish vampire brats?Is it a warning about the reality of toxic friendships where one "friend" does nothing but take and the other gives beyond exhaustion?Is it a blackly humorous observation of the reality that the world favors the cute and disadvantages the ugly, fat, and ungainly?Is it a parable of the working class and the false consciousness that keeps them subject to the demands of the uncaring elite?In any case, the first panel of every story tells it all: Bear toiling over the housework while Maudie lounges about with a toy bear tied to a leash. less
