About This Book
Reach for this book when you need to lighten the mood after a day of perfectionism or when a child is feeling frustrated by a parent's well-intentioned but clumsy mistakes. It is a perfect choice for the holiday season when the pressure to have a picture-perfect Christmas feels overwhelming and the family needs a shared laugh at the chaos instead. The story follows Papa Bear as he enthusiastically tries to teach Small Bear how to use his new Christmas sports equipment, from skates to skis. Of course, Papa's overconfidence leads to one hilarious disaster after another. While the book is full of slapstick humor, it subtly explores themes of resilience and the special bond between a father and son. It is ideal for children aged 3 to 7 who enjoy predictable, rhyming text and seeing the adults in their lives act a little bit silly.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and focuses on the physical comedy of sports mishaps. There are no heavy themes, though Papa Bear does find himself in mild peril (stuck in a snowdrift or under ice), which is always resolved immediately with humor.
