Karma Wilson's warm and inviting Bear books teach valuable life lessons to young listeners. One cool autumn day, Bear's friends decide to visit him, but he can't come out to play-poor Bear is sick. Never fear though, his woodland pals are working very hard to make him feel better. They bundle him up, make him broth, and even sing him lullabies. With all this love and attention, Bear will be back on his paws in no time. "The rhyming text and oft-repeated refrain ("Bear feels sick") make this book irresistible when read aloud."-School Library Journal
