After a busy day, a good book for bedtime is a must. The adventures of Bearwolf and his friends fits perfectly, and is sure to be a favorite for bedtime reading. Reminiscent of the TV series Sarah and Duck, and with touches of British and Native American lore, this collection of stories is written in verse to help children relax after a big day. The stories are interesting, but not over stimulating, and give stressed out kids something totally new and different to explore. While set in a magical world, children gently learn real lessons about diversity, friendship, and responsibility. There were a few instances of crude humor, and a bit of pronoun confusion in the last chapter. Additionally, the last story in the book can seem a bit scary if it's too late at night. However, Bearwolf and his magical friends are always ready to lend a helping hand, and explore a new horizon.
Great for parents or an older sibling to read aloud to a little one, this collection adds a touch of whimsy to any library. Get ready for a magical adventure unlike any you've ever seen. Just remember not to scare the Penguineapigs!
