Sniffle! I'm so in love with this book. It brought tears to my eyes. It's such a beautiful story about a bear who becomes infatuated with the written word when he finds an old letter fluttering in the forest. When he later happens upon a lady reading near her cabin in the woods, he shyly watches and sees how the book she is holding makes her feel so many different emotions. When she discovers the bear, she invites him over and reads aloud to him. It's so very sweet and dear.
This story celebrates books and writing and reading and the magic of being read to, the bond between animals and humans--the way the bear experiences so many emotions and such a deep connection to the lady, simply by her reading to him,listening to her voice, feeling her emotions, even though he doesn't *know* what she is saying--is just beautiful. It made me think of the times my mom would read aloud to me as a girl and how much I loved it, and of my time volunteering with cats at the sanctuary and how we can have such a bond without speaking the same language, and of all the books I've read over the years and how much they have touched me and shaped my life.
Even though there is a bit of a fanciful element here (the lady and bear reading together) it all felt very real; the bear does bear-like things, it's not anthropomorphic, yet at the same time you feel completely that the bear is a thinking, feeling creature with so much in common with humans.
I absolutely loved this story and heartily recommend it to anyone who loves reading, books and animals. The illustrations by Jim LaMarche (one of my favorite illustrators) are perfect, too.

I just read this out loud to my husband. What a sweet story that touched all the tender places and made me long for my very own bear friend.
The story is about a bear who is fascinated by the written word, and when he gets invited to hear the stories read aloud to him from a new friend in the woods, it changes his world and warms his heart.
The illustrations are beautiful as is the story itself! I’m happy to add this one on my shelf 🥲

Such a heartwarming, lovely and beautifully illustrated book. I wish I was the main character! It is a magical story about a connection between a bear and a young girl and ….. BOOKS! I could read and reread this book over and over again. Its storytelling tone is whimsical and magical. If only this could be true!
5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️s for this sweet book!

Magical! This book is magical.
I could talk about warning kids not to get too close to wild bears or I could worry about loss and separation and how kids will react, but no; with this story these worries are not uppermost in my mind as they might be with other books.
This story might now be one of my favorites on my books-about-books shelf, and that’s saying a lot.
I love this illustrator and I adore this book’s pictures. The bear is particularly wonderfully depicted, but everything about the illustrations is just perfect, and especially just right for this story.
The story is a wonderful celebration of being read to, reading aloud, of listening of the written word, of books and of letters, and of inter-species friendship too, of friendship and giving. It’s so lovely and soothing. I would read this to anyone, and anyone who enjoys reading, and especially being read to, is likely to find it charming and special. The book should be in every family’s home and all school and hospital libraries.
It would make a great bedtime storybook but it’s perfect for anytime, for a wide age range. Just lovely! Gift worthy!!!
Thank you, Kathryn, for alerting me to this book!

This is a sweet, quiet story about a bear who finds a letter and becomes fascinated with words on paper. He discovers a woman reading outside and as he returns each day, coming closer and closer, she eventually begins to read to him. I liked the message about the magic of books and the emotional ties to stories. I also liked the fact that this story celebrates reading aloud.
I thought the illustrations were terrific, but the story seemed off to me - perhaps it's the unlikely behavior of the bear, or perhaps it's the cringe I made when I considered what would happen to the woman's books. The combination of a gentle bear and a connection with books is nice, but completely unrealistic and felt strange. Overall, we liked the story but didn't love it.

Lovely. I purchased this book for the illustrations by Jim LaMarche, but the story by Dennis Haseley hooked me. This is a tale of a solitary but very curious Bear, who discovers a scrap of paper with words on it. What are those scratchings? Where did they come from? What do they mean? Bear keeps the paper and hides it in his cave.
Through the years, the bear looked at the paper with wonder - it seemed as far away and mysterious as the moon.
Remember being a child and looking with wonder upon your first book? This is how Bear feels when he discovers a woman reading 'square things' in the woods, under autumnal colours of yellow and orange. He gets curiouser and curiouser, until one day...well, you'll have to read it to learn the outcome.
I wish I had a literate Bear. Instead, I get Aquaboy the Raccoon who prefers ponds and dirt.
Book Season = Autumn (spices and acorns and large mammals)

I loved, loved, loved this book. It was a quiet, soothing, perfect story of a bear and a wman who read to him. I was tearing up when she went home for the winter and left all of her books on the blanket for him. I remember thinking what a powerful book that could be in the hands of a person advocating the power of parents reading to their children. The bear's pleasure with the words despite not understanding what they meant sums up the experience perfectly: that it's about more than just the excitement of the story. It's the experience o being read to. I loved this book. It was one of the books that just bowled me over when I read it. I want to cultivate in children the kind of joy that the bear took from being read to. If you read with your heart, this story will make you cry, but won't leave you sad. I can't say enough about it. How wonderful!

You must read this book! It is so touching, so warm, and kind. I felt as if I were there under the trees as the woman read to me in her kind, gentle voice. You can almost smell the pine trees! The illustrations are a story by themselves! The illustrator captured the heart of the bear. I loved the way the bear looked so lovingly and respectfully at the woman as she shared her stories with him. I read this tender story to my kindergartners and they were mesmerized. At the beginning of the school year many teachers teach about friendship and caring. This book would relate to that topic and help with discussion.

This enchanting tale is all about friendship and the wonders of reading. A bear finds a scrap of paper with strange markings on it and fascinated takes it back to his cave. Then he sees a woman reading these rectangular things filled with the marks. A strange friendship begins to develop. He even shares the words he found with her but the woman cannot stay at the cabin forever but she leaves her books to keep bear company. The acrylic paint and colored pencil illustrations leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling for bears and for reading. Can I have a cabin and a bear so I can get through my pile of books?

Another glorious book. This story was so cozy and heartwarming. I loved the view of the bear. The story was so clear, I felt like I was part of the book.

This story inspires curiosity, familiarity, and memories as you get to know the characters and the loving relationship they share, all thanks to the written word. The warm and inviting illustrations transport the reader into a literary world that Bear has fallen in love with. After finding a piece of paper with weird markings on it, Bear is curious to know more. Thanks to the Woman, Bear is introduced to the world of reading and becomes entranced by stories of love, melancholy, and adventure.
I have shared this heartwarming story with my second graders for the past two years and is a wonderful introduction to reading for pleasure and the many adventures we as readers can go on. Students enjoy the curious bear as he listens to the woman read him stories. They relate to the story through their own personal memories of reading and why they also love it. If you're looking for a story to spark discussion on where reading can take you, this is the one for you.

Muy bonita historia sobre el oso que le interesaban los libros
March 14, 2016
Yet another stellar book illustrated by one of my favorite artists. LaMarche's works contain soft images with a dream like quality.
This is a story of a woman who stays in a wooded cabin during the summer months. A bear, finding scribbling on a piece of paper, carries this with him. As the woman reads throughout the summer, bear notices that the markings on his paper and on the books read by the lady, are similar.
Bear becomes more comfortable slowly moving closer to her. By summer's end, he is right by her as she reads.
When she leaves, he is sad. Happily he finds that she left him magical gifts -- many books!
Once again, the superb illustrations pulled me in. This is a soft book, with shafts of sun steaming through the trees, landing gently on the woman and her bear guest. All is quiet in the woods. It is a time of rest and relaxation. The bear's paper containing words holds magic for him.
And both he and the woman are drawn together over the wonderment of reading. The bear quietly sits and listens as she reads to him. This is an interesting tale of how the love of books weaves an unbroken bond.

With amazing illustrations Jim LaMarche had done an excellent job of conveying a love of reading. This simple and sweet story will make you want to forget about our too crazy lives and go and sit and the woods and read. Something I always recommend doing. Children 1st - 4th grade will enjoy this book and so will the adult reading it.
April 11, 2014
I have to say, I quite enjoyed this little book, despite its inherent implausibility. The pictures are warm and inviting. The bear expresses a peaceful curiosity, and there is a harmony between human and beast that is wonderful. This is a splendid and lovely book.

Gorgeous and magical. The power of reading, of words, of story: the power of the sound of a dear voice telling the story.

A Story for Bear, by Dennis Haseley and illustrated by Jim LaMarche
Are you looking for the perfect bedtime book to share with your children? A Story for Bear is one of the best I know. This gorgeous picture book is all about how reading out loud with those we love can change our lives and how the sound of a beloved voice can echo in the heart like a song to chase away dark times. This story is about a woman who spends her summer vacation reading in a chair in the woods, and the curious bear who becomes her friend as he listens to the sound of her voice reading to him. As the summer days go by, the bear grows closer to the woman as the sound of her voice reading evokes different emotions from the story. At the end of the book, the woman has to return to her daily life in the city, but she leaves her books on a blanket in the woods for the bear, and one by one he carries them back to his cave. All through the winter, as he hibernates on top of the pile of books, he feels close to her: “And while he slept, he heard the sound of her voice, gentle and near. She was telling him a tale of adventure, and magic, and love.”
I recommend this story for children of almost all ages. The story is beautiful, as is the language, and the pictures of the smiling woman and the bear’s sweet face are entirely captivating. This book always reminds me of my grandmother, who used to read to me when I was a child lying with my head in her lap. Even now, fifty years later, I can still hear the sound of her gentle voice reading story after story, and I treasure that memory above almost all the others I have of her. Reading to children not only helps their intellectual development, but it strengthens your relationships with them as well.
A few questions to discuss with children after reading this book:
1. Why do you think the bear wants to listen to stories everyday?
2. Why does the bear like the sound of the woman’s voice so much?
3. Do you feel scared when you read a scary story or happy when you read a
happy story? Why do you think that is?
4. Even if a story isn’t about a real person, can the feelings in that story be real?
5. Do you like it when somebody reads aloud to you? Why?
Happy reading from the Itinerant Librarian!

I LOVE this book. It is heart-breakingly sweet. I cannot read it without tearing up at the end, partially because I think the bear is lonelier/sad and because of course he can’t read to himself, but also because it’s so sweet how he’s comforted just by the thought and smell of the woman through her books. When she’s not around, he hears her in the babbling brook and in the blue jay’s calls.
I do have a few nit-picks, I guess, if I really think about it. I’m not sure the letter adds anything to the story. More than that, I think it’s a little dangerous that our society likes to paint dangerous animals as friendly. This is not a problem with this book so much as all children’s books (and movies), I suppose, but it still perpetuates it. (Don’t think this is a problem? Read Everyday Survival: Why Smart People Do Stupid Things by Laurence Gonzales.)
But this book could have *many* more flaws, and I would still love it. This is exactly the feeling I want to pass onto my son. I hope that in the future, when he is near books, he can still hear me reading to him and feel my love for him. I can’t think of anything more beautiful to pass on to him, and this book captures that idea perfectly.
Books are love.

I feel like a bit of a monster, but I didn't like this book. I found the relationship between the bear and the woman too...intimate, and too impossible for how accurately illustrated the story was. Maybe if it were more of a cartoonish story or written in a way to be less evocative of a bear it would have made sense but I found the relationship strange and improbable in a way that took me out of the story. Also there was a lot of repetition, about hearing her voice in the sounds of nature, and other places that made the story feel a bit bloated to me. The idea of her leaving all her books instead of just the first one she was reading also didn't really make sense.
All in all, after reading the number of reviews that called this story "magical" I feel like a bit of a curmudgeon. But it just didn't do it for me, I found myself constantly pulled out of the story due to the reasons above, rather than immersed in it. I read it to my three year old and she seemed ok with it, but didn't ask for it again.

This is a beautiful book. The illustrations are amazing and the story is so clever and heartwarming. My boyfriend and I read this together and he thought it was clever and heartwarming too. I didn't think I'd love this book like I do, but I love the relationship between the bear and the woman. It's such a nice lowkey friendship.
[SPOILER AHEAD]
I also loved how in the end the woman left some books for the bear knowing she won't be outside reading books to him anymore as that's how their relationship started. There were a lot of books on the blanket, but the bear took each one into his cave going back and forth to grab each one. In the end, we see the bear reading in his cave that is filled with books. I loved that. It made me feel all warm inside.
If you like bears or books, I recommend this book for you.

I was given this book as a gift several years ago, and after reading it and enjoying it, it got misplaced. I was delighted to find it again this Christmas and revisit the beautiful pastel illustrations and read the mysterious story.
Who is Bear? Some say he is a child who can't yet read for himself; others that he is a person who has trouble communicating his feelings. I love the story of the woman who reads to him, day after day, and finally leaves him her books to remember her by over the winter.
When we first read this, the person who gave it to me asked me if I thought the woman was ill. To him, the idea of someone voluntarily going off alone into the woods for the whole summer was unthinkable. With plenty of books to hand, it sounds ideal to me.

It's books like these that make me wish I had grade school and older kids attending my storytimes! The story is so wonderful and sweet! I love that the bear is the main focus of the book and that the girl in the woods didn't try to approach the bear on her own, everything was done at the bear's comfort level, which is important to let young readers know.
Bears are wild animals, not pets or attractions, and should be treated with caution and respect.
How wonderful it would be to read to my own bear though. They are my favorite animal and such soulful creatures.
Again, I would love to read this tender story in my library and eagerly await a day that I might be able to.

I love this beautiful picture book for so many reasons! Bear finds a letter and is intrigued by the marks on the page. One day he spots a woman who is reading a book. Bear is so curious and eventually befriends the woman. She reads to bear until one day, she is gone but she has left something very special for bear. Haseley’s story is tender and heartwarming. LaMarche’s art is charming and convey’s a tenderness that draws readers in close for a sweet experience. A Story for Bear needs to be a part of every book lover’s collection. Highly recommended.

This is an excellent book to introduce a love for reading for the readers strugglers.
It took me a while to find a title, because there are so many good children’s books about a bear.
This is my favourite. I read it 2001 first time.
It is so mysterious but at same time promising, with a fiction and nonfiction overlapping. The nature as a setting, the reading, the communication, the teaching and the ability of any brain to learn.
Thanks for other feeds. It helped my decision of a first book to choose for my reading group.

Que j'ai aimé cette histoire. Toute simple pourtant mais si profonde. Les dessins au pastel gras sont d'une infinie douceur. Les deux personnages s'apprivoisent et se découvrent au fil des pages. Une amitié naît, un partage, celui d'une passion, d'une voix. Un attachement plus fort que les saisons qui défilent. Triste, émouvant, délicat petit album qui a touché mon cœur de lectrice, qui aimerait elle aussi un jour avoir un ours pour attentif auditeur.

The artwork in this book is amazing, and makes me want to curl up inside the book. I LOVED the beginning of this book, truly loved it. However,
December 18, 2020
A bear stumbles onto a cabin in the woods, with a woman reading in a red chair under the tree. He is curious; he comes back every day and eventually they meet. She reads to him and although he doesn't understand the spoken words he feels the words. The illustrations are heartwarming. I love the bear's expression while the woman is reading to him. Pure love.
December 10, 2022
LaMarche's art makes the difference between a good book and a fabulous one. I've read several by Haseley now, and they're good, I will be picking up anything he's written. This book is lovely and it made me cry and I couldn't say why. It was just lovely and slightly sad but not entirely.
