4.0 out of 5 stars
A Boy, a Bear, and the Inevitability of the Seasons,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bear on the Train (Hardcover)
This is one of those books you want on your shelves for any 4 - 8 year olds in the house. Boys, in particular, would identify with the story. It's a gentle, though unsentimental tale of bear meets trainline, while a boy looks on. No, the furry fellow doesn't meet his maker because of this interaction. Rather, this particular bear takes advantage of a ready-made den and food supply on board a train car, as it travels the very long and beautiful distance across the Canadian mountains and prairies. The accompanying illustrations are absolutely wonderful. My own two small boys love the poetic chant repeated whenever the bear and his train pull into town. My older child brought it into his grade one classroom when the topic of hibernation was on the roster; all 25 classmates clamoured for another reading, and another.
