A review by rjvrtiska
Little Bear by Else Holmelund Minarik

5.0

Mother Tongue notes: Good for beginner readers. Mostly 2-5 letter words, but the story isn’t too simple. 1 chapter can be read by a group in 20 minutes, depending on the reading level.

The first 3 stories don’t need to be read in order, but the 4th story is best read last. It mentions the first 3 stories, and ties them together. This makes for a good review, especially if the stories have been read over several lessons. A good prompt for the students to look back through the book and practice retelling the stories from memory and the illustrations.
