Bear Feels Scared, written by Karma Wilson and illustrated by Jane Chapman, is a heartwarming tale of a big bear and the animal friends who come to his rescue. In the book, Bear goes out for a snack in the woods; however, he is caught in a storm, and is paralyzed by his fright. Fortunately for Bear, his animal friends organize a search-and-rescue party to bring him back home; when they find him, they comfort him and help him overcome his fears. After they all head back to their cave, Bear tells stories and the animals all fall asleep, cuddled together.The message of Bear Feels Scared is a reassuring one: even the biggest and strongest of us get scared sometimes, but friends can help us through the frightening times in our lives. While Wilson¿s text flows smoothly and her rhymes seem effortless, the truly striking aspect of the book is Chapman¿s illustrations: her acrylic paintings of Bear and his journey are breathtakingly intricate. Chapman¿s artwork is simultaneously cute, powerful, and poetic; in this case, her contributions have stolen the spotlight. Although some of the illustrations might seem dark and intimidating to very young children (which definitely captures the frightening surroundings of Bear¿s journey), the animals always seem endearing and hopeful. This is a wonderful book, and it provides a great lesson for children of all ages.Citation:Wilson, Karma, and Jane Chapman. Bear Feels Scared. New York: Scholastic, 2009. Print.

This story is a good example of friendship, and being lost. It clearly expresses fears and reactions that are expressed by feeling scared. It could be used through first grade.

My daughter loves the entire "Bear" series of books, and was thrilled with this one. Especially when she realized how close to "home" Bear really was. A book to be read over and over again.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for good, quality children's books. This is a great one to share with my 2nd grade class. I also recommend Runny Babbit and Nose Pickin' (and 50 Other Ways to Tickle Your Brain!)
