What Bear is Reading

Here are some books we enjoyed this week.  

 

This has always been one of my favorite books.  As a teacher, I aspired to encourage and empower my students and the teacher in this book does this so cleverly by getting the little girl to sign the paper on which she has jabbed her pen to make a dot.  Bear quite enjoyed this one too and asked for it repeatedly.

The Odd Egg is a cute story about a duck who finds an egg and waits for it to hatch.  It doesn't have much text, but the illustrations are appealing, as is the surprise inside the egg:)

Two sweet mice are on their way to a party when they realize they left the present behind and have to find a substitute.  I love that they live in a mailbox and use a letter as a sled.  Both Bear and I loved the illustrations.  Another one short on text.  I think I inundated Bear with long books a while back, so it has been refreshing to read lighter fare.

This story tells the story of some sweet moments between a cub and his father walking home.  The illustrations are warm and endearing and appealed to Bear right away.  I love books with fabulous illustrations.

And the last one for this post is

 

A counting book about the Arctic set to the tune of "Over in the Meadow."  Need I say more?  It also has lovely illustrations.  I am looking forward to checking out more in the series (Way out in the Desert, Over in the Garden, and Somewhere in the Ocean).
