​I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t mind having a party with my bear today. And what party would be complete without a picture book? I happen to have the perfect book for this occasion: 

​A bear cub discovers something unusual in this forest and is curious. Curious enough to plonk on some piano keys and, as a result, comes to the conclusion that this thing makes an awful sound. Yet he is compelled to come back and visit the piano, again and again. In time, and with lots of practice, the bear learns how to make beautiful music. His love for music draws him to explore a world beyond the forest, but he is torn between following his dreams and staying connected to his friends and family at home. This touching book has bears and pianos and fame  and family, and you don’t want to miss out, so please explore David Litchfield’s world of The Bear and the Piano!

​I just happen to be a lover of books, so this seems like a great holiday to celebrate. Today I decided to review a book that I love: 

​Jean Reidy sets the stage with a description of who Truman is (and make no mistake—he is every bit as sweet as a donut!), where he lives, and with whom. Right away you know that Truman and Sarah have a very close relationship. So, one day, when Sarah gives Truman extra green beans, tells him to “be brave,” and leaves on the number 11 bus, it’s no surprise Truman chooses this day to break from his peaceful, pensive way of life and do something that seems impossible! This book takes on the first day of school with a whole new twist, and Lucy Ruth Cummins’ illustrations of Sarah, Truman, and Truman’s big adventure (from the perspective of someone the size of a donut), are the perfect complement to Jean Reidy’s text. If you want to read about turtles, donuts, green beans, city busses, being brave and big adventures, this book is for you!
