Sleepy Bear Finishes His Book!

Hi Book Buddies,

Whew! I finally finished reading, The Other Half of My Heart, by Sundee T. Frazier. It was a little bit challenging for me. Good thing I have my reading and writing teacher, Kathleen, to help me with tricky words. And some things in the story I didn’t understand. Like, bi-racial and prejudice.

The first word, bi-racial, means “two races” but not like the running kind. It’s the kind that means what you are. My race is brown bear. Moosey-Moose’s is brown moose. Kathleen said hers is a big mix!

The second word, prejudice, means when you believe something one way before you know the facts.

I’m glad for Minnie and Keira in the end. I hope you enjoyed this book as much as I did!

Now, what to read next?

Your Book Buddy,

Sleepy Bear

Sleepy Bear Loves His Book!

Hi Book Buddies,

I have not written because I’ve been busy reading my book, The Other Half of My Heart.

Reading 1

I learned a new word. Escapade. I like the way it sounds. It means a daring adventure! I wrote the word on a posty note so I can remember to use it. Kathleen says that is a good way to add new words to my vocabulary! Kathleen is very smart.

 

 

 

 

That reminds me. Moosey-Moose is going on an escapade! He leaves today. He said it is someplace sunny. I have to guess where he’s going. Can you help me makes guesses?

But first, I’m going to read some more of my book.

Your Book Buddy,

Sleepy Bear

The Wait Is Over!

Hi Book Buddies,

The long wait is over! Kathleen said it was not that long. But it felt like FOREVER! I always get impatient when I’m waiting for a new book.

The Wait Is Over!

 

I drank two cups of hot cocoa with goo-gobs of whippy cream waiting for my new book.

 

 

Sleepy Bear Introduces His New Book

 

The name of the book is The Other Half of My Heart. The author is my new friend, Sundee Frazier.

 

 

Autograph Page

Look! Ms. Frazier autographed my book! It says, “Sisters come in ALL colors!” Friends come in all colors, too.

 

 

 

 

This is the story of two twin sisters who are very different but very alike, too. They have bi-racial parents. I had to ask Kathleen what that means. She said in this story one parent is black and the other parent is white and so are the twin girls.

The sisters go to visit their grandmother in the South and it is very challenging for them. Kathleen told me that not all people like people who look different. I look very different from Moosey-Moose but he’s my best friend! Hey, friends come in all colors, too! I hope the two sisters in this book stay best friends.

I’m going to start reading my new book now. I hope you check back later.

Your Book Buddy,

Sleepy Bear
