Work detailsBear Wants More by Karma Wilson (2003)
None. Bear awakens from his den just in time for spring and finds himself very hungry. Bear eats everything in his site, “but he still wants more.” He joins his forest friends on a quest to find more food and finds a surprise waiting at home. Bear’s forest friends attempt to satisfy his enormous hunger and in doing so find themselves in tough situation. This vibrant illustrated book makes for an enchanting read-aloud. The illustrator uses acrylic paint and bright springtime colors to depict spring and the forest animals. The rhythm and boisterous text makes Bear Wants More an amusing read-aloud.

(  ) Tamara.Murray | Mar 30, 2013 | This is a cute story about a little bear who wants just a little more! He and his other animal friends help him out in the story. My students really liked this short story and I would recommend it! Caitlin_Rinner | Dec 7, 2012 | When spring comes, Bear wakes up very hungry and is treated to great food by his friends. (  ) kidlit9 | Mar 30, 2012 | A bear is never satisfied with what he has and he always wants more. Teaches the concept that more is not always better. ( ) Elizabeth1977 | Jul 17, 2011 |
PreS-Gr. 2. What happens after a bear breaks the fast of hibernation? In this rhyming follow-up to Bear Snores On (2002), Bear emerges as a lean, mean, eating machine. His animal friends help him find food, and he munches his way through the forest. As his grub crawl proceeds, both the words of the refrain ("But the bear wants more!") and Bear himself increase in size. Other friends busily plan a party for Bear back at his lair. Later all the friends must work together to pry the overfed, very stuck Bear from the entrance to his den. The story is fun and funny, but it takes a backseat to the illustrations. Chapman's acrylic paintings have a freshly washed look that conveys the newness of spring, and they are layered with delightful comic touches--Bear's increasing girth, his friends' bemused expressions, and the flower crown he wears at his picnic, after which he falls asleep. Now Bear is "full, full, full . . . but . . . his friends want more." An appealing romp about springtime and friendship.
