Nick Bland Stories About Bears and Hibernation
Although we are now in the season of Spring I want recognize all the animals that have been hibernating. However I am thinking about one type of animal in particular – bears! I adore reading the stories written by Nick Bland about a bear. His musical rhyming pattern, his humorous illustrations and different adventures make his books truly enjoyable – no matter what age of audience. Many of you have already heard The Very Cranky Bear as I tend to read this book at least once a year to each Primary Class. This story shows how the characters of Sheep, Lion, Zebra and Moose try to help Bear. Here is a video recording of myself reading the story for your enjoyment.
The Very Cranky Bear:
When exploring online for further resources to use for music I found a Hip Hop version of The Very Noisy Bear. This story continues to show how Sheep, Lion, Zebra and Moose try to help their friend Bear. I was inspired to include both of these stories within this blog post for you. Listen to the great musical accompaniment through the reading of the story. Enjoy and be like Bear! Keep trying out different activities until one matches your skills and interest.
