This is a fun read aloud full of contrasts, animated characters, and relateable emotions. Bear has a cold and he's pretty sure it is the end of the world. Or at least the end of him. His friend Mouse comes over to cheer him up with stories and songs, but everything seems to make him crabbier. Finally he snuggles in for a nap and when he wakes up he feels much better, but poor Mouse has caught the cold. The pages are filled with soft, cozy illustrations that make you want to snuggle under a blanket. Perfect book for the fall and winter seasons of sniffles. 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.’”

I love Bear's vocabulary. Great for introducing new words to young readers.
