FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature - Marilyn Courtot
Have you ever had one of those days when you feel like you should have stayed in bed? Poor Little Bear is having a really bad day. He bumps his nose on the windowpane when he gets up. At breakfast he spills his milk. Later while painting with his friend Cat, he tips over the paints and ruins his picture. He decides that it might be better to go outside, but when he loses Hen's kite, he climbs up a tree and sits on a limb. His friends see how sad he is and find a very nice way to cheer him up. Then they all head home for lunch at Little Bear's house. It is a slight story, but it might make kids who have had those kinds of days feel better to know that they are not alone. Wenzel's style is warmer than Sendak's and the pictures are also in brighter colors which adds a bit of warmth. A "Festival Reader." 2003, HarperCollins, Ages 4 to 7.
