Lynda Dickson's Reviews > Faux Paw

Walden Bear is a boy who wants to grow up to be a bear. When his teacher (ironically named Mrs. Hunter) tells him he can't, he becomes even more determined to succeed.

This is another marvelous offering from Julia Dweck. This time there is no rhyming tale, just simple yet elegant prose, bringing us the fantastic message that children can grow up to be whatever they want. The book is beautifully illustrated by Walter Carzon, whose drawings make the characters come alive. Comes complete with bear facts and a fun activity.

Remember, you can be whoever or whatever you want to be.

I received this book for the purpose of providing an honest review.
