Wonderlit Review
Dorothy Haas's 'The Bears Upstairs' offers a charmingly whimsical premise: a young girl discovers two bears who are actually aliens needing her help to return to their home planet, Brun. The book handles its fantastical elements with a light touch, focusing on the unexpected friendship and the girl's resourcefulness. The emotional arc is one of gentle adventure and burgeoning confidence. This book is ideal for children aged 4-11 who enjoy imaginative stories and talking animals. Parents might reach for this when their child is looking for a unique, slightly quirky fantasy story that isn't too intense. There are no sensitive topics requiring extensive previewing, making it a straightforward read-aloud for younger children and an engaging independent read for older elementary students.
