review 1: This is a book to read during Thanksgiving that for once, has nothing to do with Pilgrims or American Indians. Bear is sleeping in his cave, becomes bored, and his friends bring various items for a feast. This would be a great book to get students talking about what they're thankful for, and explaining what friendship is. I did an activity with students creating a "thankful plateful" of things they are most thankful for in life.
review 2: I had picked up this book for my son because I had previously thought that I liked the look of some of Karma Wilson's other books. Plus the illustrations were adorable; my son loved looking at the pictures. In this book, Bear is feeling lonely when he visited by all of his friends, who bring him food. He keeps saying "Thanks" ... morebut wants to really show them his appreciation. But he has no food to share. His friends assure him that he has plenty to give, all his stories, and that will be more than enough for him. So he and his friends sit down to a feast and he entertains them with his stories. This is a great book to teach toddlers/preschoolers about Thanksgiving, especially as it illustrates other things one can give besides food. Recommended for ages 2-6, 5 stars. less
