Another book that teaches children the importance of listening fully to what other people are saying. No one in Bear's community wants to listen to actually 'why' he has a problem, they just all want to provide their own solutions without waiting for his input.

A bear has a problem, but gets frustrated when everyone seems to have a solution to a problem that is not even his. No one will listen to him and everyone that he meets just gives him things that he does not really need. His problem is that he is afraid of the dark and he doe not like it, but no one knew because they were not listening to him.

No one listens to bear.

Would make a good flannelboard?? ( )

The bear in this book has a problem, and that problem is that nobody will listen to him. He finds his friend in the end and all is well. He, like many of us desperately needed a friend to listen to him and make him feel less lonely. The great part about this book is that the bear is brave enough to search for a friend and a solution to his little problem of being lonely. ( )

I enjoyed this book and think the bear send a good message to children that it always important to have someone you can talk to and tell your problems to.
