From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K?A comforting bedtime story that explains a stormy night to an anxious child. The little girl's mother tells her it's the wind bears dancing, and the child imagines what it would be like to be with them, stepping out on rooftops; rustling leaves; and encountering friendly fish, lions, and tigers. The bled double-page spreads capture all of the nocturnal activity with a flair, from the opening picture of soft white clouds turning into bears, until the last page, where they once again become clouds. The illustrations blend nicely with the rhyming text in presenting a delightful story of a sleepy child's adventures.?Denise Furgione, Franklin Township Public Library, NJ

Ages 3^-6. What is that rumbly noise that the wind makes? A little girl's mother tells her that it's the wind bears dancing by. And though she is warned to stay home, the girl, in a flight of fancy, cavorts with five woolly white bears in the midnight sky. The poetic text is full of words like rumble, tumble, spin, and whirl; the feeling of motion is the story's central image, even as tigers play with tambourines and the rain sings along. Catching the mood is the arresting colored-chalk artwork executed primarily in nighttime shades of blues and purples. The five fuzzy bears frolicking in the night with one happy little girl are shown in sweeping panoramas, yet with plenty of detail to satisfy those who want to look and look again. A warm, comforting book to read when a mighty wind is blowing outside. Ilene Cooper

What a delight this book is! As a musician, and as a children's music teacher, I fell in love with the lovely, rhythmic feel! Children will find the illustrations captivating, and the simple musical references in the book are a great teaching tool for young children's music class.

Wind Bears is so cute. Its rythmic lines and colorful pictures would capture any child's imagination. My one year old loves to sit and let me read it to him. It is so creative and delightful. I love it. Bambi
