STORYTIME: Bears!

Books:
Bears! Bears! Bears! by Bob Berner- A cute small book that has a nice rhyming scheme. The book features all kinds of bears and a little bit of information about them. Great collage art and could be a fun follow up craft.

Have the kids use bits of scrap paper to make a collage bear of their choosing.

Bear Flies High by Michael Rosen- Great story with some repeated phrases that can be used as call and response.

Bears on Chairs by Shirley Parenteau-AAAAdorable! Teaches a nice little lesson about sharing and 'making it work.'

A Very Curious Bear by Tony Mitton-Parents will appreciate the little bear who is always asking questions about the world around him. These questions tell the story as little bear goes through his day in the forest

Something to Do by David Lucas- Cute line drawings. 2 bears use their imagination and a crayon to make something to do when they are bored. Could also be used during an imagination themed storytime.

The Bear Snores On by Jane Chapman- Animals wander into a bears cave while he is hibernating and cook a feast.

Polar Bear Night by Lauren Thompson- Awesome, atypical illustrations. Monochromatic color scheme really sets the mood for this arctic tale.

Orange Pear Apple Bear by Emily Gravett-Such a fun, creative book! You have to see it to understand.
