Bear has come up with the perfect way to say thanks: a nice big dinner! When Bear decides to throw a feast, his friends show up one by one with different platters of delicious food to share. There's just one problem: Bear's cupboards are bare! What is he to do?Karma Wilson's playful text and Jane Chapman's charming illustrations bring to life this celebration of family and friendship. Young readers will delight in discovering the special gift Bear has to share.Kids loved it - great opener to discuss Thanksgiving tradiotions and why they are so meaningful. This would be a great book to use in a storytime about "Friendship"Bear is all alone in his cave, missing his friends. One by one, his friends stop by bringing goodies. Bear is happy but he feels bad that he doesn't have any food to offer to his friends. They assure bear that there is enough food for everyone already and that they would be delighted if he would share his stories instead.Same great characters and rhyming text as her other books such as "The Bear Snores On."
Cute illustrations, and good story about sharing and friendship. Nathan likes the Bear books.
