PreS-Gr 1—More than anything, Bear wishes that he could fly. He wants to feel the wind in his fur and glide through the air. His good friend, Goose, wants to help and attempts to console him, but at that very moment, Fox swoops in with a few misguided flying tips for Bear. After a few failed attempts, Bear, Fox, and Goose realize that there is a way that Bear can swoop and glide and feel the wind in his fur. He can dance! Fox, Goose, and Bear return in the seventh book in the Goose and Bear series. Adorably funny and full of mischief, these beloved characters are sure to have children giggling. A story that focuses on what one can do, this picture book will encourage perseverance and creativity in the very youngest readers. The full-page illustrations are beautifully painted and reinforce the humor in the story. The white print and large font against the blue hues of the background are crisp, clean, and inviting, making it easy for children to follow along.
VERDICT This book is perfect as a read-aloud as well as for one-on-one sharing.
