Two little bears
Suzi Moore
- Reading
- Pause at the point where the bears meet and invite your child to predict how they might get along. Afterwards, compare their expectations with how the friendship develops.
- Themes
- Friendship across differences: The two bears look different and come from different settings, but are described as alike inside and develop a lasting friendship. The story presents friendship across outward differences positively, while the details of how the bears build their relationship are unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Both bears leave the warmth of their homes to explore. If a child is uneasy about characters leaving their homes to explore, you could talk together about what they might find reassuring or uncertain.
