What Bear is Reading

Bear loves Henry and Mudge right now.  Unfortunately these are the only two available to us.  Even though these are early readers, they are really well written.  There is a good mix of simple and complex sentences.   A lot of early readers only comprise of simple sentences and can be a little annoying to read aloud.  I love Cynthia Rylant’s way with words.   Children can relate well to Henry. For example, in the first he struggles with doing what he knows is expected of him (not picking a flower and forgetting to ask his father before going outside to play) and in the second, he struggles with the fear of being alone in the dark without Mudge.
