BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - NO
AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW
A girl is afraid of bears, so she is afraid of traveling alone into the forest, so she makes a bear mask. A bear is afraid of people, so they make a people mask to wear on the train. Unknowingly, they sit next to each other and they support each other on their journey.
I understand Hoefler’s point, but I don’t think that kids, who are more literal, will understand. And strangely, the train starts out with just people on it (and not other beings wearing masks), but at the end has a mix of people and animals. I found it to be weird, without being charming.
