Bearymore

Don Freeman's classic story, Bearymore, introduces young readers to a lovable performing bear who adores the circus. As the season ends, Bearymore feels a pang of sadness, compounded by the ringmaster's request for a new act by spring. The central conflict arises from Bearymore's need to hibernate for the winter while simultaneously needing to brainstorm a fresh performance. This gentle tale explores themes of problem-solving, creativity, perseverance, and managing big feelings like sadness and worry. It's a charming read-aloud for preschoolers and early elementary children, offering a comforting narrative about facing challenges with ingenuity.

Bearymore, the performing bear, loves the circus so much that his last performance of the season makes him sad. But when the ringmaster tells him he must think up a new act for next spring, Bearymore has a real problem. How can he do that and hibernate at the same time? Age 4-6 40 pages
