review 1: I really liked this book. The illustrations were very good - and very cute - and the story was a good one. It had a couple elements that I think are really great: first, the teamwork Bear and Mole used to build their kite and, second, the fact that the kite ended up being used to help woodland friends after it got caught in the tree. This latter point can be used to teach kids not only about helping those in trouble, but also about finding a happy side to a sad occurrence.
review 2: This is a book about true friendship between bear and mole. As they go out on an adventure to build and fly a kit, they encounter some problems. This leads to them helping someone else out. This is important in teaching children that sometimes something bad can turn into something g... moreood for someone else and that it feels good to help someone else out. The illustrator in this book uses a mixed media style, which really makes the pages interesting and unique. The characters are portrayed in a fun, cartoon like way, which children tend to appreciate. The typeface throughout the book is placed in a well thought out spot on each page, since it isn't always in the middle of the page. It is sometimes near the top, bottom or side. It also tends to be located in an area where the background is fairly light. The page turner element is another thing that is important in this story, often children even want to turn the page early to see what's next. I might read this book to young children if we are talking about friendship or kites. It would probably be a book that I could get away with borrowing from the library and wouldn't necessarily need to be part of my collection. less
