Baby Bear by Kadir Nelson

3.0

Baby Bear written and illustrated by Kadir Nelson is the story about a baby bear who is lost late at night in a forest. He asks multiple animals for help and directions along his journey, but no one gives him direct advice. Instead, they give him vague advice about finding his way back home. An example is when the moose tells Baby Bear that when he is lost he sits still and listens to his heart. Baby Bear is thankful for the advice even though none of it is really useful. He finally comes in contact with a salmon who leads him home. I believe that Nelson’s goal with this book is to teach kids that even when you want something or to get somewhere so badly, sometimes you have to slow down and enjoy the journey.
