TWO LIONS, KINDERGARTEN-GRADE 3
Big Bear’s forest friends eye his berries hungrily, but he doesn’t notice as he digs into his delicious snack. When the old oak tree says, “Share, Big Bear, share,” he thinks the tree has said, “Hair, Big Bear, hair!” One comical scene follows another as Big Bear keeps misunderstanding the old oak tree’s message until things finally get sorted out. Whimsical illustrations highlight the humor in this gentle story about the importance of sharing something special with friends.
Reviews
Rhyming text and charming colorful illustrations make this an easy go-to for a read-aloud and lessons on sharing.
—School Library Journal
Hillenbrand's illustrations are the real attraction here. . . full-bleed forest landscapes in pale, textured washes of green and blue make an inviting setting for Bear with his giant silver pail of lush berries and the birds, rabbits, deer, and mice that gather around him, hoping he'll share.
