Bears and a birthday
Shirley Parenteau
- Reading
- Pause over the recipe and party preparations: invite your child to name what the bears are doing and predict what comes next. Then enjoy the final reveal together.
- Themes
- Preparing a celebration: The four bears follow a recipe, make a cake and prepare a present for a birthday surprise. The book presents this favourably.
- Worth knowing
- Birthday baking and a surprise party are central to the story. If those subjects are sensitive for your child, you could talk beforehand about what celebrations look like for different people.
