by Alice Dalgliesh

Helen Sewell (Illustrator)

Are there bears on Hemlock Mountain? One boy is about to find out in this classic tale.

Reviews

We finished the second half of reading this aloud tonight after reading the first half the other night. It was a simple short read and very interesting for my five-year-old son who had really enjoyed listening to The Sign of the Beaver in the last few weeks. He is near to reading and I'm sure he would pick this up and read it with interest now. We read The Thanksgiving Story first and are planning on reading The Courage of Sarah Noble next. So far, my kiddos are really enjoying Alice Dalgliesh. I wish more of her backlist titles were available to find.

Included below are interesting tidbits. We own a paperback copy of this reader, the blue one with the eyes but no red banner. We also have it as included in the You Read to Me and I'll Read to You treasury that includes fewer images. The Kindle Freetime Unlimited copy has the white copy that is indicative of Helen Sewell's illustrations (which are in each of my copies) we also have in our trial. Our paperback of The Sign of the Beaver shows the brown bear full cover, while the Kindle Freetime Unlimited copy is the yellow cover image. Our hardcover jacketed copy of The Courage of Sarah Noble includes the sepia-toned cover with no medal while on the Kindle Freetime Unlimited copy is pink and green. We also own an Audible copy of Sarah Noble.
