Overview / 简介: |
It's time for bed, and a little boy chooses his favorite book for his mother to read to him. The bear in the book is preparing for his own deep slumber, hibernating through the winter while humans and other animals explore the snowy landscape around him. Just when the bear wakes up to greet the spring, the boy drifts off to sleep. Kate Banks’ soft and rhythmic text is brought to life by Georg Hallensleben’s strong, expressive paintings in this bedtime read that will carry young readers through the seasons. |

*Starred Review* The creators of The Great Blue House (2005) and Fox (2007) are as adept as any at presenting the wonders of the natural world to preschoolers. In this cozy and deceptively simple story, a toddler and his mother cuddle up at bedtime to read a favorite picture book about a black bear as it prepares for winter, hibernates in its den, and then emerges in springtime. Banks provides details about hibernation and winter’s many changes in both descriptive, child-friendly text and the resulting conversation between adult and child as they make their way through the book. Although the focus of this atmospheric story is seemingly on the big black bear, the book is just as much a celebration of the shared-reading experience, from sitting close and discussing the story to exploring the illustrations to noting the book’s sensory features. Hallensleben’s rich, impressionistic artwork moves seamlessly between warm domestic scenes of the pair reading and vibrant natural landscapes with plenty of seasonal detail. With its quiet, gentle tone, this is perfect for one-on-one bedtime reading as well as for introducing hibernation, sleep cycles, and seasonal change, but the engaging, double-spread pictures will please crowds, too. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
The Wall Street Journal said about this book,The Bear in the Book "Words and images work together to creat a marvelous Russion-doll effect." I thought that this should be a wonderful book for my 2-year-old granddaughter, and also for my 3-year-old great-granddaughter so I went to my local big chain book store to buy two copies. The clerk exclaimed, "Oh! I love that book!" But when she went to her computer there were none there, just like old Mother Hubbard, and the de4livery service might not get them to me within a week, in time for Christmas. So I'm ordering two copies from Amazon and know they'll be here in time. |
