Great book for helping young readers understand the meaning of community and support for your neighbors in need. The illustrations do not gloss over the fear that can arise in stressful situation such storms, but it is done in a way that shows some reactions can be boxed in humorous statements. It’s probably one of the best books in the series and the students at St. Joseph’s School in Chehalis, WA, will love it.

Bruce Bear books are the best!!

My grandson and I accidentally discovered this author when we went to a local park for a hike. We were pleasantly surprised to find that there was a "story trail" where the pages of one of the Bruce Bear books were displayed on signage along the trail. I was a little skeptical of the story line at first....a grouchy bear didn't sound like a great role model....but the author does a wonderful job of turning the entire story into a whimsical and humorous delight (and good role model after all)! We so thoroughly enjoyed the story that I came home and immediately ordered every "Bruce Bear" book in this series!!! They have not disappointed.....they are all delightful and we can't wait for the next one!

My daughter is a huge fan of the Bruce books, and we couldn't wait for this one to come out. It's a great story, shows working together and keeping one another safe. I love the sarcastic bent that Bruce has, as it keeps me entertained as well. Can't wait for the next book in the Bruce series.
