(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kate Gardiner. A brown bear cub crouches by a plum tree, looking up at its mama eating, hungry but scared to climb. Mama reassures the cub’s worries (“Sometimes we slip and scratch our paws...It’s okay”) and, despite an eventual fall, the cub tries again, achieving a “delicious” reward. Young children learn about bravery and perseverance from de Sève’s tender story; the earth tones of Gardiner’s gouache and colored-pencil illustrations reflect the loving parent-child relationship.
Reviewer: Cynthia K. Ritter
