I was looking for new books for my son when I came across this book for preorder. My 5 yr old looked over my shoulder and exclaimed "When can we get it mom?!?!" Notice he didn't ask IF we could get it! My son knows I love Bear just as much as he does so it was never a question of "CAN we get it", he knew better. The newest Bear book is once again the perfect combination of great writing and awesome illustrations. Karma Wilson always has a wonderful melody and tempo to her writing with stories that are perfect for young children just grasping their social and emotional development. My children love that they can sometimes predict what will happen next in the story and sometimes they dance on the end of their seat waiting to see what will happen on the next page. The illustrations by Jane Chapman bring the story to life and give us characters that we love to look at over and over again. My son describes it best... "I just want to love and snuggle Bear all day long".This particular story was special to my youngest as he has not yet lost a tooth but is eagerly waiting. I thought the subject was handled beautifully since the wonder and fear quickly turned into "what can we do" and excitement.If Jane Chapman and Karma Wilson continue to work together, I will continue to purchase these books. They just make you feel happy!
Everyone familiar with the great big lovable Bear that we first met in Bear Snores On will certainly recognize the familiar cast of characters in Bear's Loose Tooth. Bear's friends Wren, Mole, Badger, Hare and the rest are all back, this time to help poor Bear cope with a loose tooth. They all take turns trying to pull out the wobbler, but in the end it's Bear himself that finally gets it to pop out.Fans of story time read alouds rest assured that the rhyming flow is as good as it was when Bear first snored, and I think Jane Chapman's illustrations are better than ever. Bear is more expressive and the artist's pictures fully capture a humorous ending that all kids will be able to appreciate. Loose tooth stories are always popular and this one does an excellent job of helping kids find some humor and comfort in a situation that's not always that much fun. An excellent choice for story time or any young child's personal collection, no matter how many teeth they've lost - or are about to!
We've been waiting for another bear book! And perfect timing with our first born recently loosing his tooth. He's grown up reading bear books and loves all bear's friends-rabbit, mouse, wren, raven, badger. Karma Wilson is the best author....this book falls in line with the others in style and pattern. After reading it a couple time, your kids with chime in "bear's loose tooth" just as they did reading bear snores on..."and the bear snores on." After reading this book the first time, we went and made it a bear night and read them all. Such great family time laughing as we all enjoy our favorite forest friend! Welcome back bear...now come back again soon please!
Another great BEAR book. My grandson is in kindergarten and wanted to know more about his classmates losing their teeth and if he would lose his. This is a wonderful book dealing with this concept in a humorous and positive way!
Excellent book for my Son's collection of "Bear" books. I love the artwork and the easy/fun reading that are in all of Karma's books and I think you will too. We found them at our local library and then ended up buying them, because they get read that often. Great book to help children with going to the dentist, doctor and dealing with boo boos.
I love all the books by Karma Wilson about Bear. This one is a darling book about Bear's loose tooth. He and his little friends are so charming. The rhymes in here are fun. My children love it. I even read it to my parents who are in their late 70's because it is so good.
LOVE IT! Our daughter is 4 1/2 yrs old and has her first loose tooth. This book is great for her age and offers a gentle, kind message on what to expect, ie what to do with a loose tooth, tooth fairy, etc. We've been reading it every day so far. This book is also beyond expectation in that it has lots of great illustrations of animals. Highly recommend it!
The story is as good as I expected. Love those Bear Books. I was not expecting it to be the "small" size. There was nothing that would have led me to believe that it was not a full size book.
