Review Detail

The bear’s little nose on the cover sparked my interest in reading Brave Little Bear. Arlo the bear likes for things to stay the same and finds comfort in the familiar. His sister Eva is adventurous and fearless. Children are likely to relate to one of these little cubs well. During their course to Spring Valley, Arlo finds his bravery in rescuing his sister during a snowstorm. The strong bonds of family are felt as the cubs struggle to get back to their mother. You can feel the danger and fear they are going through making for a gripping page-turner. Overall, this was a sweet story about the strength of the family that will appeal to the Elementary reader.
