The Bear and Her Book by Frances Tosdevin
5.0
The Bear and Her Book is a beautiful idyllic picture book with a tremendous quest for self-fulfilment. This book embodies themes of friendship and kindness. The lyrical rhyming text is easy to read aloud and children will love joining in with the repeated phrase. I particularly liked the way Bear refers to her Bear's Big Book of Being Wise to help the different animals she meets on her journey to find her perfect place to be that satisfies her curiosity and her desire for adventure. There is a totally satisfying ending that will resonate with book lovers everywhere.
The superb comforting illustrations with their soft neutral colours create a calm, relaxing atmosphere that compliment the text. I like the way Bear’s Big Book of Being Wise stands out red against the gold, green and turquoise colour palette.
I recommend this book to teachers and parents. A treasure for any book shelf. A joy to read.
