Our story this week is : Three Snow Bears by Jan Brett. Retells the story of Goldilocks, set in an igloo. Aloo-ki glances up from
fishing and sees her sled dogs floating off on an ice floe. She races
after them and comes upon an igloo. Being a curious girl, she goes
inside only to find no one home. Thatœs because the polar bear family
who lives there is out walking while their breakfast cools off. Aloo-ki
eats some soup, tries on their boots, and finally crawls into the
smallest bed for a nap. Meanwhile, Papa, Mama, and Baby Bear see her
dogs adrift, swim out to rescue them and return home to find Aloo-ki
fast asleep in Baby Bearœs bed.Jan traveled to the far North to meet the
Inuit people and see the amazing land where they live. Dramatic
illustrations capture the shimmering ice, snow and deep blue seas of the
Arctic, and when Jan adds a raven-haired Inuit girl and her appealing
huskies, an endearing family of polar bears, and playful Arctic animals
in the borders, the result is one of her most beautiful picture
books.The decorative Inuit patterns and clothing Jan uses throughout are
sure to attract adult fans and collectors while children will want to
listen to and look at this exciting version of a well-loved story over
and over again.
This book is a great example of Narrative Skills. You want to read the book to your child over and over again. We will be creating an igloo with some help from something sweet. See you on Tuesday morning.
