More Bears! by Kenn Nesbitt

More Bears!

by Kenn Nesbitt

Full of irreverent humor and interactive read-aloud fun, More Bears! is a favorite of parents and kids alike.
Acclaimed poet Kenn Nesbitt is at his best with this silly meta-fictional book. As the "author" of the story begins writing a tale without any bears in it, he is abruptly interrupted with a chorus of someone shouting "MORE BEARS!" at every turn of the page!
"This story was a lovely story with absolutely no bears in it—not a single bear anywhere—then one day…
MORE BEARS!!
The author tried very, very hard to ignore the children who thought that the story ought to have
MORE BEARS!!
Fine. This story had a bear."

I love this book. No, you don't understand. I really love this book. This reminds me of the interactivity of that old Grover book, the one "There is a Monster at the End of this Book" or something like that. Each page brings interaction with your child and reader's audience. I love it! The poetry is so much fun and attractive to the ear. I like this one so much, I'm giving a copy to my brother in law for Christmas. (Yes that's right, to the adult, not the kiddos). It's just appropriate. I definitely recommend this for a keeper shelf for every child.

*Thanks to Sourcebooks for providing a copy for review.*
