Favorite Reads: Bear Edition

We had a huge black bear in our yard this past week which may not sound crazy to any of you reading from further north but for us in Branford it's a big deal.

The fluffy bear walked the entire back of our property line & scared me half to death when I realized one of the dogs could be outside (but fortunately wasn't).  So for now we're doing our afternoon yard reading a bit closer to the house but just for fun we grabbed a couple bear books to read this week.

"oh baby" Messenger Tote
Coops ADORES this book. Not sure if it's the contrasting colors or fun story about an owl's nighttime experiences but he starts chatting merrily every time we're a few pages in.  Plus super sweet illustrations & I just learned there's a day version (Little Owl's Day) that we'll have to check out next.

Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See?
& Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
Brown Bear is a classic, but I didn't know there was a Panda Bear version until a couple weeks ago.  Love the Panda book with all of its wildlife illustrations & Cooper was enthralled by the same.
Coops has started to turn pages, this way or that, or just play with the edges of his cardboard books making Brown Bear perfect for him & leaving me in awe at how fast he's developing.

Baby Bear Counts One
The illustrations in this book are breathtaking.  Seriously.  I wish I could frame the pages for baby's nursery, plus the story is super sweet following a baby bear & his mother as they get ready for winter & see other animals doing the same- counting to 10 along the way.


Little Owl's Night

For even more books on our wish list check out Cooper's Library on Pinterest where I save everything we want to add to our own library.  And as always we love hearing suggestions on books to read next!  What are some of your favorites?
