Bears in the Snow

Description

Shrieks of joy ensue when Big Brown Bear devises a clever sled that can carry four bears in this quintessential winter adventure. Here's a bright red sled On a snowy day. Where are the bears To come out and play? The little bears are ready to play in the snow. But - oh, no! Their sled is too small! It's not as much fun to go sledding only two at a time, but what can they use to carry them all? Luckily, Big Brown Bear has an idea - and it starts with a belly flop!

Walker's acrylic illustrations feature soft colors against simple backgrounds, playing up the action and the characters' emotions. Adults: get ready for your children to ask you to lie facedown in the snow at the top of a hill. -Kirkus Reviews The simple, rhyming text works beautifully with the engaging acrylic illustrations.
