This book is :-) Wonderful illustrations! They make the wild animals children proof and give a chill to the wintery images. These illustrations are combined with a nice story, entirely seen from the view of the animals. No interaction between the humans and the animals in this book, the humans play only a very small role. Loved it! A young bear, safely hibernating through his first winter in this rhyming holiday tale, is awakened by a faraway sound, soft and mysterious, and sets out through the snowy landscape to investigate. Coming across a series of animals in need of his aid along the way - a hungry crow with whom he shares his honey; a moose who needs help in cracking the ice in a nearby bog, in order to eat the weeds; a pheasant family whose nest has been destroyed by falling snow - the bear soon has companions, in his quest. When the animals do find the source of the mysterious sound - a cabin in the woods, in which a human family are celebrating Christmas by singing carols, around their decorated tree - they are caught up in the magic of the season, and, returning to the bear's snug lair, see it all around them... Although I appreciated the message here - that the Christmas spirit is about sharing with one another, and that humble abodes are as fitting a locale for the season, as any other - and enjoyed the gentle, rhyming text, the real star of Bear's First Christmas, for me, was Jim LaMarche's beautiful acrylic and colored pencil artwork. The animals have a soft furry and feathery quality to them, that is very appealing, and the winter landscapes are lovely. It probably helps that I love wintry scenes! I particularly liked the image in which all the animals are gazing in the window at the Christmas tree - just adorable! All in all, a sweet little holiday read, one I would recommend to young animals lovers looking for seasonal stories. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

While searching for a place to sleep, the animals found a cozy house, with a decorated tree. The animals realized they were seeing their first Christmas!
As always, the illustrations of Jim LaMarche are incredibly detailed. He has a way of capturing expressions on both animal and human subjects. He remains one of my favorite illustrators. ( )
