6/6/2023 0 Comments Old Bear by Kevin Henkes![]() ![]() Perhaps the most beautiful page is winter where the "sky is blazing with stars of all colors." The serenity and quiet that is exhibited on this page will make the reader feel as if their footprints will be the first in the snow. Each season is represented by a different color scheme that would be easy for children to identify. As Old Bear travels through the seasons in his dreams, the scenery changes and his world is made up of make-believe things like blueberry rain and a daisy sun. As the reader gets into the dreams of the Old Bear, the illustrations take on a vivid, brilliant and unrealistic look where "flowers are almost as big as trees," and everything is purple, yellow or pink. The illustrations are easily readable, and very expressive without words.Īs the story continues and the text is added, Henkes does a marvelous job of telling the story with very few words. ![]() Show More journey into a long winter's nap. ![]()
