Very
Hairy Bear has hair everywhere. Everywhere, that
is, except for his nose.
He
does not care if his nose gets wet when he fishes for
salmon.
He
does not even care if bees sting his nose when he eats
their honey.
He
does not care if his nose gets blue when he eats blueberries.
But
there is something he does care about. Can you guess
what it is?
Alice
Shertle tells about the life of a brown bear by weaving
information into a clever, poetic story that follows
one bear's nose. The Kids' Wings classroom unit includes
a readers' theater script so you can read along. Here
is how it begins:
