Bear, who loves to play Hide and Scare, learns a valuable lesson from a brave little rabbit who teaches him, as well as his friends, that kindness is the answer. This is a beautifully illustrated, sweet and charming picture book about changing behavior in a positive way. The rhyming text is simple and flows nicely whether read out loud or silently. As I mentioned, the illustrations are beautiful, soft and colorful and very eye-catching. I think this is a great book to teach kindness in the face of bullying.

We love reading cute picture books. This one also looks cute.
Looks good.
Thanks.
Love the cover! Thanks for the review.
I read this to the younger grade at our school and they loved it. The rhyming words made it very fun to read outloud.
