The sniffles for Bear

I love Candlewick Press, they always have more and more foxy reading books. While I haven't read the other Bear and Mouse books yet from Becker & Denting, they are now on my list for future reads. This is a very appropriate, on the verge of calm, read for a sick day. With colors of a more pastels hue, this is not filled will brilliant shades that would bring a headache to a sick kiddo (or mama) and that is something else. I appreciate.

Typed from Kindle Fire.

Thanks to Candlewick Press for providing a copy for review.

Bear isn't just sick; he thinks he is on his last leg. Why, then, isn't Mouse properly appreciative of the severity of the situation?

Great vocabulary for a read aloud. Who wouldn't love the sight of tiny Mouse dragging enormous Bear up the stairs?! Very, very funny!

“'Nettle soup,' Mouse said.
‘I made it myself.'

Bear sipped cautiously. It was hot and tasted a bit like spinach and straw. Bear rather liked it. Bear's eyes began to close. ‘Better?' inquired Mouse.

Bear's eyes snapped open.
‘Certainly not. I think I should make a will.'”
