Love is in the Bear by Judith Henderson, illustrated by Nahid Kazemi.  PICTURE BOOK.  Owlkids (Bayard Canada), 2023.  $19.  9781771475891

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) – OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

It’s spring and Bear notices Bird’s beautiful song, and he wants to join along. Bear and Bird practice together to perfect their duet to audition for the opera. Will they get the part and continue to sing their song?

I was a bit confused at the overall message of this book. There are some themes of friendship and overcoming unexpected problems, but doesn’t explore either in any meaningful detail. It might be cute as a storytime book, but I don’t really see any classroom application of the story.
