Ladybug's Books
Old Bear

by Kevin Henkes
Harper Collins, 2008
When springtime arrives, I am SO ready to put on my rollerskates and do a few loop-de-loops around Ant Park. I think bears must really, really want to go out and play too, because they have to sleep all through the winter!
This book shows us Old Bear's dreams during his winter nap until he wakes for the spring. Each dream shows Old Bear as a baby bear, frolicking through the different seasons. His dreams are filled with beautiful pictures, and sometimes they are a little funny too--like his summertime dream, when blackberries rain down from the sky! Reading Old Bear will make you want write down the dream you had last night, and then burst out of your winter coat into the sunny outdoors!
