"Don't Wake the Bear!", Pete the Cat Plays Hide and Seek" and "Wild Symphony"
These books all take the reader outside, even if outside is fanciful.
Don't Wake the Bear!
4 stars
Author: Steve Smallman
Illustrator: Caroline Pedler
The forest animals are having their spring party. Their party spot is around a fallen hollow tree in which a bear is now sleeping. They decide to have their party anyway, but be quiet as the bear will wreck the party. Or will he?
The illustrations are soft, colorful and give the animals a stuffed animal look. They look cuddly.
Pete the Cat Plays Hide and Seek
4 stars
Author/Illustrators: Kimberly and James Dean
The gang is playing hide and seek. Pete is it. He's positive finding everyone will be easy. Once he does he can have a chance to hide.
Pete the Cat illustrations are bold, colorful and fun.
Wild Symphony
4 stars?
Author: Dan Brown
Illustrator: Susan Batori
This is an interactive book with music available on a phone app. I didn't have this.
Maestro Mouse is having a symphony with his animal friends playing the instruments. The illustrations are whimsical.
Referring to the webpage, there are letters hidden on each page spread. Unscrambling the letters names an instrument.
Each spread ends with a moral.
