Book cover Big Black Bear
Wong Herbert Lee (1993) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by Wong Herbert Lee
Audience: Toddlers, Preschool
Category: Read Aloud
(This book has outstanding illustrations)


What would you do if a big black bear barged into your house, made a mess and threatened to eat you? Little Girl tries to be polite and asks bear to, "Please use a dish!", but Bear only responds, "I'm a Big Black Bear, and I do as I wish!" The rhythmic text flows through the book making it a wonderful and fun book to read aloud. Yee's bold, bright and simple illustrations immediately catch your eye and pull you into the Brown Brick House and the habits of a bad-mannered bear.
