A Bad Mad Sad Day for Mama Bear by Mayra Calvani


Little Bear offers Mama Bear various items to make her feel better, but she’s too busy to notice—until he gives her his super, so good, so very special dolly. Silly humor, alliteration, repetition, and onomatopoeia make this a fun read-aloud story. A celebration of the special love shared between mother and child. For ages 3-7.

My Review:

What delightful book. Both my six and eight year old boys loved it, and wanted it read again.
I couldn't even imagine all that happened to poor mama bear, and like a human mother, flustered, she didn't see the comfort that was being offered by her child.
We talked about what it would be like to have Madame Baboon visit with her troop. The boys agreed that we wouldn't have our Christmas tree still up, and most of the house would be trashed.
We had a fun time reading this sweet, quick book, and I highly recommend it as a real treat!

I received this book through the Author, and was not required to give a positive review.
