Kornell, Max. Bear With Me, 32 pages. Putnam Juvenile, 2011. $15.99. Inside cover: “Everything in Owen’s world is just peachy till his parents bring home a bear named Gary-without even asking! Gary changes everything: he takes up way too much space and makes a mess of all of Owen’s toys. Having Gary around is just so frustrating… could there be anything good about having a bear in the family?” This is the perfect book for anyone dealing with changes in family dynamics. It is emotional, tender, and unique in its approach to handling life-changing situations. We loved the ending! This is a book the whole family can share, discuss, and enjoy. It is also perfect for classroom discussion. The illustrations are fascinating and colorful! Pre-K. EL (K-3). ESSENTIAL. Reviewer: SL.
