This simple concept of inviting all
Please Bear's friends to his
birthday party gives ample opportunity to the
authors to introduce
characteristics that
children are likely to meet: from
Shy Bear and
Boasting Bear to
Greedy Bear and
Moaning Bear. Fortunately by the end of the story they are all
Happy Bears!
In
Please Bear's Birthday the
rhyming couplets – two to a page – make for
playful narrative and the
illustrations are bright and attractive. Each
page provides an opportunity for
discussion about topics like
table manners, sharing and
playing together. A charming little
book for
younger children that would make a lovely little
birthday present.
PWT rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
