Customer Reviews

A great little book!

Brave Bear is a wonderful little book about a bear cub who helps a baby bird who fell out of her nest. Rather than narrating the story like most children's books, Mallat instead uses compelling illustrations and the brief monologue of the cub, allowing the reader's and child's mind to fill in the rest. While short and simple enough to be read to the youngest child, the book can also serve as a catalyst for dialog with older children. "How do you think the bird felt when ___?" "Why did the bear _____?" Brave Bear is enjoyable to parent and child!

Teaches Early Reading

Because the text accompanying the illustrations is concise, my three year old son has easily memorized all of the sentences. I'm sure the next step is "reading" each sentence for each dramatic event in this attention grabbing story. We've been reading it every night for two weeks solid.

GREAT BOOK

I think this is a great book and there are some awsome drawings on it...it is a great book for younger kids who are learning about helping and sharing with each other
