"There are bears out there. I can feel them. Asleep in the woods / bears curl, soft and dark."
As part of the Reading is Fundamental (RIF) program, this morning I read Bears Out There by Joanne Ryder to second graders at East Knox County Elementary School. It's a story of a little boy who dreams of bears. (Still a ten-year-old at heart, I'm very prone to dreaming; and growing up in the Great Smoky Mountains, I’m especially fond of Ursus americanus.) It's a wonderful, lyrical book; great for ages five through eight.
Special thanks to Jennifer and the teachers for inviting me.
