Content: G. PICTURE BOOK.
Mama Bear loves her Little Bear, but
sometimes she needs to go away. Little
Bear is anxious, until the two of them come up with a way for them to share their love long
distance. This one scored right off the
schmaltz meter. I could feel my arteries
harden as I was reading it. While it
MIGHT be comforting for a young child whose parent has to leave regularly, I
can only seeing this nurturing anxiety disorders. Only for the very, very young and very, very
sweet.
NOT RECOMMENDED. Cindy, Library Teacher
