Bear Feels Scared       


Author: Karma Wilson

Illustrated by: Jane Chapman
Genre: Fantasy and Science Fiction
Grade: Pre-K and up


 Bear was out in the woods searching for food. As he was searching for food, he had forgotten that the sun already set and he got lost. Rain and strong winds started to take over the forest and he got all scared. Bears’ friends got worried because Bear’s not home yet. Bear was so scared and alone that he cuddled up to protect himself from the strong winds and the strong rain. All of Bears' friends are really worried that they came out to find him in the midst of the storm. They soon found him, hugged him, and then cuddled all together back to their home.

I would use this book in my classroom to teach students that it is okay to be scared and that it is normal to feel that way. Friendship is important and true friends care for you and will be there for you through hard times. I would read this to children between Pre-K through first grade because it is an easy-to-read book and it consists of rhymes. I will use this book by reading it in between activities or in the beginning of the day or before a lesson for words of encouragement and comfort.

It consists of a lot of sounding words and informative concrete detailed words. This poem book talks about each night creatures and tells a story of what they do at night. This is a good poem book to keep in my future classroom because each poem makes you imagine and see it vividly in your mind by the way the words are put together. This is also informative for students and will be helpful for classification or science class because it explains weather, animals, and classifications. Not only it is a poem book it is also informative and has a lot of fun facts for students to read on the side of every page.
