Henkes, K. (2008). Old bear. USA: Greenwillow Books.
Summary:
An old bear falls asleep for the winter. He begins to dream of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Everything looks so beautiful and inviting to him. He wakes up from his dream and walks out into a beautiful spring day. He thinks that he may be dreaming but realizes the beauty surrounding him is real.
Illustrations:
The illustrations are wonderful because it brings to life the vivid dreams that the old bear is having. Everything is so rich in color and detail that old bear's dream seems so real. The colors used emphasize the changes of the season. It's almost as if the reader is walking into the bear's dream.
My Rating: Thumbs up!
