Reviewed by Cayden (age 4) and Max (age 2) Aures and Mom for Reader Views (8/08) br / br /"Old Bear" is the story of a bear hibernating in the winter and dreaming that he is a cub again. He dreams of sleeping in a giant crocus, clouds raining blueberries, and all of the leaves being butterflies. br / br /Max: "Bear sleeping." br /Cayden: "He is hibernating because it is winter and that is what bears do when it snows." br / br /Max: "Sleep in flower!" br /Cayden: "That is a real big flower if it can hold that bear!" br / br /Cayden: "Why is the sun made out of that flower? And look at all of those butterflies!" br / br /Max: "Blueberries!" br /Cayden: "I would like it if it rained blueberries! We like blueberries a lot!" br / br /Cayden: "Why is everything yellow, brown and orange? I wouldn't like it if that was how everything looked." br / br /Max: "Stars!" br /Cayden: "They are all different colors in the sky!" br / br /Cayden: "He woke up now and winter is done." br / br /Cayden: "My favorite part was when it rained blueberries!" br /Max: "Me too!" br / br /Parent's comments: br / br /"Old Bear" by Kevin Henkes is a creative book that encourages children to think outside of the box. My boys had a great time imagining a world where all of the leaves were butterflies, and where it rained blueberries! The illustrations in the book did an excellent job to complement the storyline and we really had a fun time being a part of "Old Bear's" dream sequence! br / br /
