BEAR AND BIRD : the cave and other stories

BEAR AND BIRD The cave and other stories

JARVIS

Book - 2025

Jarvis revisits his beloved, sometimes befuddled, duo in a fifth set of stories where gentle mix-ups and genuine friendship abound. Bear and Bird may not always understand each other, but they both want nothing more than for their best friend to be happy. So when they each find today's date circled in red, they obviously assume it's the other one's birthday (so sorry, Snail!). And when Bird puts her pal through his paces--to prove he's himself and not his look-alike cousin--she finds a sweet way to soothe an unhappy Bear when the test is done. Whether it's Bird bravely helping Bear to retrieve a ball from a cave full of stinky goo (or so they've heard) or both of them putting their faith in a flying umbrella wh...en Bird blithely removes the candy trail meant to lead them home, Jarvis's subtle humor and sweet illustrations create a charming world that young readers are eager to come back to.

Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 2--4--Bear and Bird are back with four delightful new stories filled with fun and adventure. From taking a test together and celebrating a special day with an impromptu party to bravely exploring a creepy cave that holds unexpected surprises, their friendship shines through every page. Bear and Bird's bond is reminiscent of Sergio Ruzzier's "Fox & Chick" books for this audience, offering emerging readers a heartwarming portrayal of support and camaraderie. Digitally created illustrations, featuring soft colors and pastel backgrounds, perfectly complement the text. The layout is designed for early readers, with illustrations on every page making the story accessible and engaging. Text is simple yet captivating, striking the right balance for those transitioning to longer stories. VERDICT A fantastic addition to any early reader collection, Bear and Bird's latest adventures are sure to keep young readers entertained while encouraging the growth of their reading skills.--Kirsten Caldwell
