"In the 'culture wars' narrative of the Republican ascendancy, this slippage represents the greatest con in recent history: while you rush to defend marriage or protect the unborn, please pay no attention to the financier behind the curtain." Continue »

Bear Feels Scared

by Karma Wilson

Bear Feels Scared Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In the deep, dark woods
by the Strawberry Vale,
a big bear lumbers
down a small, crooked trail....

Review:

"Beloved Bear gets another emotional workout, this time a frightening episode in the dark and stormy woods. While Bear is on the trail of a snack, things quickly turn windy, wet and, as Bear gets lost, downright spooky. He cries and trembles, curling up amid the gnarled roots of a huge tree until his ever-faithful band of woodland friends — who have carefully formed a proper search party — come to his aid. Via rhyming text and the repeated refrain 'And the bear feels scared,' Wilson and Chapman (Bear Snores On; Bear Feels Sick) once again tap into the psychology of preschoolers, exploringa common childhood emotion. Chapman's acrylics capture the motion of the blowing winds, while Bear's ultra-expressive eyes and lumbering hulk demonstrate his vulnerability; readers will immediately connect to his experience. Meanwhile, in the cozy fire-lit lair, preparations for Bear's rescue — replete with lantern and string to tie the searchers to one another — evoke warm feelings about teamwork and support. Ages 3 — 7." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
