The Other Bears

32 pp. | Star Bright | October, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59572-638-4 $16.99
(3) K-3 A koala family is descended on by a panda family, then a polar bear family, etc. With each introduction, Father and Mother Koala kvetch ("I don't like their ears"), but their children see the positive ("But we love their food"). Thompson wisely resists spelling out his message about accepting difference; his scenes of young bears joyfully intermingling say it beautifully.
