Description
Book SynopsisA Bank Street College Best Children’s Book A book to inspire children to look for treasures in the great outdoors, where everyday objects take on new, magical meanings with a little imagination. “Alive with modest wonder—a treasure.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Little Bear is a treasure finder. And he finds the most wonderful things: a shiny button, a tickly feather, a cozy hiding place, a tree to scratch, and even a shy, soft piece of lint. The other animals, however, don’t understand Little Bear’s treasures. “Just junk,” they say. Except for one… When Little Bear meets Little Bird, it’s the beginning of a wonderful friendship. Together, Little Bear just might discover his best treasure yet. Poetic, affectionate, funny, and captivatingly illustrated, this gorgeous picture book is a treasure itself.
Trade Review“Alive with modest wonder—a treasure.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “This high-minded, big-hearted picture book sends the message that, while one may delight in having possessions, a good friend has more value.” —Shelf Awareness “Dreis’ illustrations gracefully convey the joy found by the bear and bird in the world around them—and in their friendship…. this is a book that emphasizes the importance of pausing to observe, to collect, and to value one’s surroundings.” —Booklist “A heck of a heck of a nice surprise ….the art is exceedingly appealing…. When I got to that final image of the bear and the bird from behind that, I found my breath truly taken away. It’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, but absolutely unforgettable.” —School Library Journal
