A bear goes over the mountain to see what he can see, hear what he can hear, smell what he can smell, touch what he can touch, and taste what he can taste; what a busy bear! When he sets out on a sunny morning in spring he uses all five of his senses to explore the world around him. He smells a skunk (yuck!) and sweet honeysuckle vines (yum!). He sees dragonflies and fuzzy ducklings, he hears crickets chirping, he touches a soft flower blossom, and more! When the chill of autumn comes creeping up over the mountain, he goes back to his cave for a snuggly sleep.
With warm, beautiful watercolors and playful, evocative words, Iza Trapani extends this classic children’s song to teach young children about the five senses and the four seasons. It’s so much fun that kids will want to go out exploring, just like the bear!

My Take on the Book
Filled with beautiful illustrations and a wonderful story line you will be transported to a fun world that you can share with your child over and over again. The other nice things about this book is that if you know the song that follows this story you can sing the story and even if you do not, you can read it too. The story is fun and the illustrations just jump off the page. This is a wonderful book for the whole family!
