Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The big friendly fellow from Bear in a Square and Bear on a Bike enjoys all kinds of weather in Bear in Sunshine, also by Blackstone, illus. by Debbie Harter. Bear sings in the rain, makes snow-bears in winter and stands on his head in the moonlight. A final spread reviews the seasons.

Ages 3-5. Blackstone's big tan bear, last seen in Bear in the Square (1998), makes an appealing return. Each two-page spread shows Bear adjusting to whatever the weather is like outside. He plays in the sunshine, yet he's equally happy singing in the rain. He flies his kite when the wind blows and pulls out his skates when it's icy. A storm drives him under the covers, but he is out making snow bears as the flakes fly. The very simple text, two lines on each spread, is illustrated by delightful pictures that don't overwhelm but joyously bring Bear to life. The hallmarks of the art are the vibrant colors, the interesting perspectives, and the fun (Bear swinging on a lamppost, aping Gene Kelly in Singing in the Rain). Preschoolers may not catch that reference, but that doesn't dilute the exuberance of the image. Keep one of these on hand for toddler story hours. The text is just the right length, and the book has a sunny feeling no matter what the weather. Ilene Cooper

My 17-month old daughter LOVES this book. In fact, she loves all the Bear books. There are so many things to point out on each page and its easy to relate the text to everyday life so the books lend themselves to extensions. The bright colors and warm illustrations are inviting and fun!
