Bear Feels Sick (The Bear Books)

As a grandparent I have spent many , many reading times with this book. Especially when not feeling well, a child learns how the bear’s friends try to make him feel better and stay by his side. Great life lesson here!

The Bear Books are my absolute favorite books to read to my 2 year old. We already own several of them but somehow hadn’t picked this one up yet. Bear Feels Sick is charming and sweet — no surprise there! I appreciate that each Bear book contains an actual story, and that I don’t feel silly while reading these aloud like I do with some other children’s books (*ahem* Sandra Boynton). The little lessons taught about friendship are great, and the illustrations are simply beautiful. Most importantly, though, my daughter loves these books and she’s always excited to read one before bed.

The story is about friends taking care of bear while he is sick. (A sick child could relate to his symptoms.) The bear gets better after the tlc given by friends. The story illustrates what we can do to help someone when they are sick. The friends get sick after bear is better and so bear returns their kindness by helping them. Great learning book while being a short, sweet story. Illustrations are superb.

My daughter saw this advertised in the back of the bear snores on book and had to have it. Good book about friendship, will buy more from this series

The Bear books are a wonderful series! All three generations in our house love them. The stories are addictive. The illustrations are terrific. The gentle lessons of being kind & good come through without preaching. The cast of woodland characters & their ability to be good friends who work & play together is the model modern society needs! We can't wait for there to be more Bear books.

After the original (Bear Snores On), this is my next favorite book from the collection. It's a sweet story about the friends taking care of each other, and is a great quiet bedtime read! Or nice & relaxing if your little one is sick. LOVE these books!!

One of my favorite bear books. Bear is found not feeling very well. All of his forest friends band together to bring the poor bear back to health. Bear does feel better but in his friends efforts to help him they all end up sick and bear takes care of them.

I love the Bear book by Karma Wilson! The pictures are beautiful and the stories are very cute. We have been reading them to our daughter since she was about 18 months and they have always kept her attention. Plus as a parent, I enjoy the word flow. So many children's books out there are difficult to read because they try to make everything rhyme or have an unusual rhythm. I have already purchased several additional copies for other parent friends. Please note that most of these books are available in both board book, paperback or hardback. We've been collecting them in board book so that they are a little more toddler friendly.

We love this one. My niece loved it and I bought it again for my baby. A family favourite.

Wonderful story and illustrations. Great for the kids in your life, and the kids at heart...

Beautifully illustrated, touching story about a bear that gets sick & his animal friends, rally round to help him feel better. This book shows how great friendship can be & shows children caring & empathy in a beautiful way. He then repays their concentrate for him whilst sick by looking after them when they got his sickness. The illustrations help to enumerse you in this positive story. I'm sure this would be useful for children who aren't sure if they want to accept help from others or helping children understand why others care about them ie because their an important part of their life, whatever happened to them. Also a great read if your little on is sick , to cheer them up

My son loved this book.. The story is very cute, the pictures are very well done. The story is told in simple words which are easy for children to understand. It also touches upon the importance of Friendship.

Kids loved it.
