Bear Has a Story to Tell by Philip C. Stead

This book was a very cute feel good book. I did not see much of a lesson, and I think that it is just a book for entertainment. I thought that it was funny when Bear forgot his story after all of the waiting he did to tell it. I also liked how he then began to tell the story of how he forgot his original story. I thought that was also humorous. The medium seams to be watercolor which I think created the perfect feeling for the book; it matched the energy of the story quite well. One part that I was confused about was when Bear tucked Frog in for the winter. I did not know that frogs sleep in the winter, and if they don't I wonder what Frog was doing in a hole in the ground. The page where Bear is talking to Mole while Mole is underground is an interesting page because the reader needs to turn the book sideways to be able to read the words and see what is going on. This is different from the rest of the pages and I liked it, but I wonder why the author did that?
