good will bear

Just as I fell in love with the simple illustrations of Rabbit Seeds, So I fell in love with Good Wood Bear. The story unfolds itself in its elegant craftiness and firm foundations. The story invites young people not only to work hard, but to work hard for the sake of others. I love the generous spirit which fills this story. Bear obviously is not making the bird house for the sake of making a bird house. He is making it because he values hard work and giving to others. For children, this book has many implications. It has the ability to inspire children's imaginations because they must fill in the minor details that Le Tord deliberately left out. It also can inspire a work ethic and pride in one's craft. The final illustration--or diagram rather--is an excellent invitation for young people to use their hands as they use their minds. Though this book may be hard to obtain, since it is out of stock, I do recommend searching for a copy of this book. I think Bear and Goose would be very happy if you did.
