Bear Sat on My Porch Today
Bear Sat on My Porch Today | Jane Yolen
3 posts | 3 read
What to do if a rather insistent bear squats on your porch today? Followed in short order by a shaggy squirrel, a spraying skunk, a playful possum, and a bevy of forest critters large and small? This hilarious cumulative tale of reluctant hospitality and generous inclusivity will leave readers chanting, "OKAY. OKAY! YOU CAN STAY." But watch out! That porch is starting to sway. . . . Jane Yolen's uproarious chant-aloud story is brought to life by Rilla Alexander's dazzling retro-hip illustrations in an exuberant collaboration sure to take its place alongside such cumulative classics as This is the House that Jack Built and There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly.

2.5 🌟 I‘m a bit disappointed in this book, and I usually love Yolen. The main part of the story rhymes and is quite lovely, but if you read the parts that are not printed in black, they start by rhyming and then fall short. Plus the story seems to end abruptly. The illustrations are okay, and I actually like those better than I do the story in general.

1️⃣ To quote Mr. Spock, that would be both unavailing and undignified. 😋
2️⃣ Yes. We don't have a patio, so front porch it is.
3️⃣ I would prefer to be a chapter finisher, but I have an 8yo.
4️⃣ Yes, but I rarely read paper books anymore.
