From Kirkus: "To quote one particularly joyous double-page spread, 'Oh, what a ride!'" The Bear Came Along is a humorous award winning picture book about a bear and his journey meeting all its friends. This book would be a good read aloud or a book to have on shelves in an elementary school classroom. This book can show students the value of friendships and they can enjoy the beautiful illustrations along the way. This is a Caldecott Honor Book about a bear who is exploring a flowing river. As the bear flows down the river he gathers other animal friends until they all fall down a waterfall. This is one of my favorite books and I would love to have in my future primary classroom. The illustrations are perfection and worth having a conversation with students having what they notice and wonder about the pictures in this book! A simple read which would be great for beginning readers or as a read aloud with the class. -Something I notice about the relationship between the mood, setting, time, or feeling and the technique and colors used is that it is all working together to create a more full picture of love and community which is the point of the book. The soft colors create a welcoming atmosphere. -It is both horizontal and vertical formatting! When they fall down the waterfall it turns vertical and this creates the illusion of height. -The end papers are blue. -The title page has a simple illustration of the river and the bear which is where the story starts. -There are a few pages that only illustrate what is going on and there are no words. -One of the visual elements used by the artist is value. There is quite a lot of blank white space. This creates a lighter tone of emotion. I would totally use this in younger classrooms to help demonstrate the importance of diversity. A very colorful book brings to life a sense of adventure and making friends in the most unexpected places. A great book to use at the beginning of a school year to teach about making friends for going on a adventure throughout the school year together an hanging on to those friendships to have each others backs. no reviews | add a review
