review 1: Since I just discovered Klassen in the last couple years I am going back to read some of his work. He's a terrific artist and a unique thinker that respects the intelligence of children and is not afraid to make it edgy. This book, justifiably celebrated with lots of awards and nominations, has surprises in it you usually don't find in children's picture books. I guess though this is his highest rated book on Goodreads, I liked some of his others a bit better, like This is Not My Hat or Sam and Dave Dig a Hole or the one with Lemony Snicket, The Dark, but Klassen is great. He's sweet, but thoughtful, and can be refreshingly quirky.
review 2: This charming story spoke to me through my terrible memory! Bear misplaces his hat, and after searching and asking for he... morelp form other animals with no luck, he comes close to giving up. Until one deer points him the right direction. This story exemplifies the idea that sometimes we just need a little more help, or we just have to think a little differently, in order to solve problems we have gotten stuck on. This story would fit into a classroom as read-aloud.Interest Level: K-3Reading Level: 1AR Points: 0.5Awards: ALA Notable 2012, Hornbook Fanfare 2011, NY Times Best Illustrated 2011, Theodore Seuss Geisel Honor 2012Primary Bookshelf: Beginning ReaderGenre: Picture book, Animals, Award Winner, Fiction less
