Shelter by Celine Claire - OPTIONAL

Claire, Celine Shelter.  PICTURE BOOK.  Illustrated by Qin Leng.  Kids Can, 2017.  $18.

When the night turns rough with a storm, two strangers approach each animal den but are turned away into the cold night.  The bears make a place for themselves and when someone comes calling for help, they are willing to open their doors. One small act of kindness being repaid with a bigger kindness.

While the ending was kind of sweet, it would have been even better had more of the animals needed help from the bears and realized how suspicious and selfish they were being.

EL (K-3) – OPTIONAL.  Cindy, Library Teacher
