The Cranky Bear by Nick Bland

Book Review: The Very Cranky Bear
Topic: Frustration, Anger, Sharing

It's winter time and all this bear wants to do is get to sleep. A few other animals have a different idea and just want a warm place to play their games.  This makes it harder for bear to get some peace and quiet and causes him to become CRANKY. The other sweet animals try to think of ways to make him happier. A nice book that foreshadows creative thinking, sharing and caring. And touches upon feelings of anger and frustration.

Preschoolers will ask you to read it over and over. Just be prepared. Make it fun by changing your voice or having your little busy bees role play.

MINE-O-SAUR

Children's Book Review

Topic: Sharing

In a class of all dinosaurs there is one that needs a 1:1 lesson on sharing. He learns the hard way and loses friends, becomes lonely and decides to take matters into his own hands. This cute book can lead to interesting converations with children. Ask them what they would do if they were the mine-o-saur, what they think the teacher should do, what the other dinos can say...The possibilities are endless. You could even act it out, make the scenery, etc. Okay, that is pushing it a little, but a great book to touch upon the topic of taking turns with friends.
