Critics Review
The Bear Who Loved The Moon is a truly beautiful read; telling the story of a bear who is always there to help everyone and who is in love with the moon.
When winter approaches, his friends migrate or hibernate and when bear decides to follow the moon he finds himself lost and alone… how will he survive and will anyone help him now?
Auriol Bishop’s prose is pitch perfect for 7-9 year olds and will be ideal as a bedtime read for an emerging independent reader who needs a slightly longer book but this would also make a great year 2- year 3 class read with wonderful vocabulary and an important message
Whilst Alice Courtley’s illustrations are captivating and heart-warming - Bear’s emotions leap off the page.
A great autumnal winter read - highly recommended
Thank you to DK children and NetGalley for the advance copy
