Summary: A wonderfully poetic story
Comment: It's the bear is a frequent read in my home. All my children, ages 7 to 2, love the bear who is just as afraid of little Eddie as Eddie is of him. Infact, my (almost) 4 year old chose a teddy bear picnic theme for his birthday based on this book. A copy for each child attending made a wonderful gift.

Summary: YUM YUM!
Comment: "It's the Bear" is a fun book to read aloud to young children. It's simply written, in near-rhyme, with lots of opportunity for the reader to whimper, yell, growl, and sniff. My son loves to holler some of the lines along with me. The drawings are great, with an absolutely oversized bear grasping a huge teddy bear of his own, and eating a bite-sized picnic that he stumbles upon.
Very enjoyable, a great bedtime read. I'll be getting more by this author.

Summary: BEARS LOVE BLUEBERRY PIE FOR DESERT
Comment: .
Eddy and Mum are off for a picnic in the forest, but Eddy's heard about the big bear that lives there. Mum assures him there's no bears around.
When all the picnic things are laid out Mum realises she's forgotten the blueberry pie and has to go home to get it.
Eddy is frightened and when he hears a voice say, "I can smell food" he decides to hide in the hamper.
Out of the woods came a big hungry bear (holding his own teddy!) and sits on the hamper to eat the picnic. After eating all the food he looks inside the hamper --- Eddy yells out for help.
Mum arrives and doesn't see the bear at first. Then he snatches the blueberry pie.
Of course our bear is harmless. A blueberry pie was the perfect desert after a picnic. It's just what he wanted. YUM YUM.
The illustrations in this book are fantastic. The large format works well, with each page varying in its layout. There's a mixture of frames; some laid out horizontally, others vertically on one page, or full panels on another. It's a very effective way to measure the pace and suspense of the story.
"It's the Bear!" is sure to become a classic. Look out for other Jez Alborough books.
