The Mountain That Wouldn’t Move by Sandra Dumas - ADVISABLE

The Mountain That Wouldn’t Move by Sandra Dumas. PICTURE BOOK. Owl Kids, APRIL 2026. $19. 9781771476492

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ADVISABLE

APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

Bear is tired of living in the shadowy forest at the base of a mountain. She calls the other forest animals together and they decide to try a wide variety of actions to get the mountain to move so that they can have sunnier gardens and actually watch the sunset.

Dumais has given us a very nice modern fable. The animals' antics, Bear’s stubbornness, and the final solution all work well together.
