Award Winner (Boston Globe Horn Award)


     This is an adorable picture book for the preschool to early elementary school student. It is a charming tale of friendship between bear and dog. Many of the illustrations are from the perspective of the animals. When dog wants bear to come down from the chair to play, the reader sees how far down the ground is from bear’s point of view and realizes why bear is scared. Dog reminds me of my children when they were small because of his exuberance and energy. Bear on the other hand appears to be a bit older and wiser and able to persuade dog’s mind. It reminds me of the relationship between elephant and piggy in the Mo Willems book Are You Ready to Play Outside? I read earlier. I would definitely recommend this book for a younger child’s library.
