Susan Upmann: All if the bear books are fantastic! My granddaughter (5) and grandson (2) love these books. Beautiful Vibrant colors and the stories of bear and his friends are charming and even touches in being scared, loosing a first tooth, feeling sick, making a new friend etc. I bought a couple books then my granddaughter noticed the other books available on the back and we have now acquired ALL of them and she keeps checking to make we have every one!

Dani: As a teacher, I enjoy all of the Bear books. This one has become one of my favorite stories for my preschool class because of all the learning activities that can go along with it. It's great for Thanksgiving time and teaching sharing and thankfulness, you can have a writing activity where the students come up with stories to share like Bear shares, planning a class potluck sharing meal, creating a themed dramatic play center to go along with the book, etc. you could write a full week of curriculum off of this sweet book. Definitely recommend it for any teacher's library!

katie: My daughter and I love the Bear books, we have every one! This one is perfect like the others. Great flow and rhyming verses, cute story telling, beautiful artwork, and sweet bear and his good friends. Without ever talking about Thanksgiving, Bear and his friends gather together for a big potluck meal together, showing thanks along the way. Bear realizes he didn't have any food to give, and was sad, until his friends remind him that he has something else to give - his wonderful stories that his friends love to hear!

Elyse Gile: My 18 month nephew really likes this book! He sometimes has a hard time staying through to the end but overall, he really likes it. The pictures are beautiful and the story line is just darling.

Sasha Zabolotna: It's an ok book. However, I wished the text would rhyme better... The story doesn't flow too well. I am comparing to other books like that that I have bought, and if had an option to preview the book before buying, probably would have left it on the shelf...

Amazon Customer: As a teacher this is a great story for children to learn the concept of saying thank you when being given something from others. A simple story that has great characters and a story line that is simple to follow. For any teachers out there, it is also a great story to do a reenactment with or to make props with for your book corner! A definite keeper!
