Receive the printed book and the Learning Guide in digital download! The Barely There Bear: Was the bear REALLY there? A family is away on their idyllic summer vacation. It’s sun and fun in the mountains by day, but by night it’s madcap disarray! Bedlam reigns as Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, sisters, aunt, cousin… in fact, everyone shares in the bewildering nighttime chaos surrounding their noisy, burly visitor. Who hears the ruckus? Who hears the bear? Who calls the police? Is the bear up the stair? The Barely There Bear encapsulates these themes in a slapstick mix-up for small children and early readers. It’s an impulsive, zany, and befuddling whodunit that will have kids asking over and over “Was the bear really there?” It's a fun-to-read story that launches early readers into the love of books. Learning Guide: Predict! Sequence! Take a picture walk! Bake a "peach beary" pie! Created by early childhood professional and author, Christina McKay-DiChristina along with her co-author Susan DiChristina, the Learning Guide's engaging, developmentally appropriate activities are designed to provide hands-on, meaningful experiences for young children at school and at home as they explore The Barely There Bear and all it's wonderful lessons!
