One Very Big Bear

Alice Briere-Haquet

As far as he can tell, Bear is the biggest thing around. He might even be a giant! It’s not long before other, smaller animals set him straight in this charmingly illustrated book about counting and relative size.

Together, two walruses, three foxes and so on, are the same size as Bear, each teasing him for foolishly thinking that there is nothing bigger than he. When six sardines arrive to tell Bear that together, they are just as big as he is, Bear has had enough and gobbles them up for breakfast.

Review

Parents frequently ask for books for their pre-school or prep child to encourage reading. Less frequent is the request to help with numeracy. Here’s a charming picture book from France that will help with both, about a polar bear who is very proud of how big he is. ‘I’m almost a giant!’ he declares on the very first page. But is he as big as two walrus? Or three foxes, one on top of the other? And what about six sardines standing tip-to-tail? Using lino-cut styled images One Very Big Bear makes learning to count delicious fun.
