I really like this book because it teaches the concept of sharing and taking initiative. While reading this book I thought of how children can easily be influenced by the crowd and may not want to immediately help or share with others. However where the action of sharing and helping those that may be different or alone you are bound to have an individual stand out. A learning experience I would do with this book would be to introduce the idea of sharing and helping others. As part of the egocentric child it is crucial to teach the concept or kind behaviorism that is essentially needed in their life. Calico Bear, Fuzzy Bear, Yellow Bear, and Floppy Bear each have a chair to themselves. They are perfectly content with their chairs until Big Brown Bear comes along. There's no chair for such a BIG bear. The bears work together to find room for Big Brown Bear.What I Thought: Where was this book when I did teddy bear story time? It's perfect for the preschool crowd. The illustrations are cute. There's no other word for them. They are soft and pastel-colored. I like that this book teaches a lesson about teamwork and sharing.Story Time Themes: teddy bears, friendship, sharing
