Bear Says Thanks by Karma Wilson - ESSENTIAL


Wilson, Karma Bear Says Thanks.  Illustrated by Jane Chapman.  Margaret K. McElderry, 2012.  $16.99 Content:  G PICTURE BOOK.  

Bear is bored and misses his friends so he decides to host a big feast!  Bear’s friends come, one by one, with a variety of food to share.  Bear is so thankful and always says, “Thanks!” The only problem is Bear has nothing to contribute because his cupboards are bare.  What is Bear to do?  

As I read this book to my little girl, she was glued to the colorful illustrations and my husband would even chime in by saying, “Thanks!”  Love the message of the book that we have so much to be thankful for.  It not only teaches you to say, “Thanks,” but it also teaches that you don’t have to GIVE people tangible things but you can DO things for people as well.
