Earlier this month we shared a list of the books that we were going to be reading in the month of July. Welcome Home, Bear: A Book of Animal Habitats, written by Il Sung Na Page was one of the books and has been such a delight!
About the Book:
Bear is tired of waking up every morning in the same green forest, so he decides to search for a new place to live. He visits the birds in the trees, a mole underground, a camel in the hot desert sand, puffins in the cold arctic snow . . . only to realize his own home is the perfect place for him after all. Welcome Home, Bear offers rich illustrations, bright colors, and a simple, spare text—all wrapped up in a beautiful, kid-friendly package. Readers meet animals in their habitats around the world—and return with Bear to the one place he is truly happy.
What We Thought:
Welcome Home, Bear is a delightful and easy to read picture book filled with color and fun illustrations. This book is about a bear that wanted something different. He was very tired of waking each day to the same scenery and really felt that the grass would be “greener” and more exciting on the other side. He visits several friends on his journey to find a new home, but quickly discovers there are things he doesn’t like about where they live. In the end, he decides that he already lived in a perfect habitat for a bear!
Welcome Home, Bear: A Book of Animal Habitats is currently available with a SRP of $16.00 for hardcover.
