REVIEWS:
5 STAR REVIEW
Where's Bear?! by J. R. Poulter is an adorable children's picture book about a family's desperate search for Baby's missing favorite toy, Bear. A beautifully illustrated children's book, educational & fun to read. The text [uses] repetitive dialogue to enhance learning while keeping the mood light with poetically rhyming fun. I admired [the portrayal of] family life, & their misunderstood pet. An excellent teaching tool for preschoolers /young readers struggling with here/there/where adverbs. An absolutely adorable book! I loved the text, pictures, & story; engaging in a way [to] inspire [children to enjoy] reading. Review by Alyssa Elmore, Author, Reviewer, Readers Favorite
Teacher/Parent Review:
"Where's Bear is a delightful story about a family calamity that ensues after bub's favourite teddy goes missing. It also shows the observance of our canine friends and how the family dog is the hero of this tale. This is a really accessible text to also teach the sometimes confusing adverbs 'here' and 'there'." Adrienne T. O'Connell, B.A., Grad. Dip. Ed., taught children from indigenous classrooms in the outback to multicultural classrooms in the city.
