Where Bear? By Sophy Henn ($7.99)
Once there was a bear cub who lived with a little boy. But over time the bear cub grew . . . and grew . . . and GREW! And did things that bears do . . . and do . . . and DO! One day the boy looked at the bear and realized he was just too big and bearish to be living in a house. “I think it’s time we found you a new place to live where you can be bearish and big,” said the boy. “But where, bear?”
This book is fun for a younger child and relies on the refrain “… where, bear?”
I love the illustrations of this book, which takes the reader through rehoming Bear, who is getting a little too big!

Good night, Vincent!

The Read To Me version of Bookcase.Club is a great way to get your hands on new stories for your kids without a the hassle. I have a tough time picking out books for storytime, and this simplifies the process. The book selections vary, but most have a some fun catch that will make them fun for kids – great illustrations, a silly story, or an engaging rhyme scheme. It’s nice to not read the same story every night, and this has been a good way to put new books on our shelves.
