This is a beautifully written tale about endangered bears both children and adults will love!,
This review is from: Legend of Honey Hollow: Honey Hollow Series, Book One (Hardcover)
Everyone in the entire world has a home, including bears like Grendel. She was a polar bear who lived in the arctic seas. It was a very nice home until some very insensitive and rude people destroyed her home by digging for gas and oil. Those selfsame people were creating global warming and the ice was melting. It was turning into a catastrophe and she just had to find a new home! Jeanne McNaney, author of The Legend of Honey Hollow, who knows all about endangered bears and Honey Hollow, tells us the story of Grendel's newly found home.Honey Hollow, a legendary place where bears could seek sanctuary, was just the place she was looking for. Everything was clean and pure there, just like it used to be many years ago. Grendel floated all the way on a piece of ice from the Arctic Sea. She was greeted by Serenity, a little brown bear cub from North America and welcomed to the Hollow by her parents, Ursa Major and Aurora. Honey Hollow was a paradise where endangered bears were coming from around the world when their habitats were threatened. There was Mackenzie, an Appalachian black bear, Fernando, A spectacled bear from the Andes Mountains and Ming-Yi, a panda bear from China. All of a sudden the bears noticed that developers were coming in and cutting down all the trees! The Bear Council had to hurry up and have a meeting. Could Honey Hollow be saved? Would the endangered bears of future generations have a place to go?! I was very thrilled with the quality of the writing and message this book had to impart to its young readership. Jeanne McNaney wove a touching tale and the wonderful illustrations by David Cochard were very complimentary. This is reality-based fiction and the author backs up her beliefs by donating a portion of the proceeds to "organizations that support wildlife conservation and endangered species preservation." In addition the book is printed on environmentally friendly paper. Any parent opting to add this one to their child's library can't go wrong!

Excellent Teaching,
This review is from: Legend of Honey Hollow: Honey Hollow Series, Book One (Hardcover)
The Legend of Honey Hollow by Jeanne McNaney, illustrated by David Cochard is a delightful book for pre-school and early elementary children to introduce the principles and reasons for protecting wildlife and practicing conservation. In the story when the bears' habitats are destroyed they escape to the enchanted forest of Honey Hollow and are saved by the children of the loggers. The wonderfully appealing illustrations by this French artist are captivating and draw parents and children into the plight of the bears in the story. At an early age children with this book can learn the inter-connectedness of all life, so that future generations will do a better job than their parents and grandparents to protect the earth and endangered species. For children to learn these concepts early and in a fun way is the best way for the future of the earth.

I PURCHASED THE LEGEND OF HONEY HOLLOW , BY MS. JEANNIE MCNANNEY LAST WEEK, AS I THOUGHT THE COVER WEAS JUST GORGEOUS! HOWEVER,I FOUND THAT IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF WHAT THIS WONDEROUS TREASURE HOLDS WITHIN . THIS BOOK FEATURES BRIGHTLY COLORED, LUSH WORLD CLASS ILLUSTRATIONS WOVEN AROUND AN INTRICATE STORY LINE. THE DIALOGUE IS UNCOMPLICATED ENOUGH FOR A YOUNG CHILD TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH.QUITE EASILY.IT STIMULATED MY 4 YEAR OLDS' IMAGINATION, AND SHE IS ALREADY ASKING FOR MORE STORIES WITH GRENDAL IN THEM! AT THIS YOUNG AGE, SHE TRUELY BELIEVES THE CHARACTERS ARE REAL, AND SHE IS GENUINELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE OVERALL MORALE OF THE STORY LINE. HATS OFF TO MS. MCNANNEY FOR BRINGING MY CHILD SUCH JOY!!!! IN SUMMARY, THE LEGEND OF HONEY HOLLOW IS DESTINED TO BECOME A CLASSIC, AND SHOULD BE MANDATORY READING IN ALL KINDERGARTEN & ELEMENTARY CLASSROOMS. Legend of Honey Hollow (Honey Hollow Series, Book One)
