Twelve has always been my lucky number, so here in 2012, is my twelfth picture book, The Tree That Bear Climbed . It's the first book I haven't done in rhyme, but there is repetition, which kids of course love, in this cumulative verse adapted, from "The House That Jack Built."
It's all about how a tree grows and the bear who is climbing the tree for a very good reason. Hope you will look it over on Amazon.com or the Sylvan Dell Publishing web site, which gives you many teaching activities to go with the book.
I'll be sharing this and my other Sylvan Dell book "Animalogy" at the FRA Conference in a workshop with illustrator, Laurie Allen Klein, called "So Much More Than a Picture Book!" Look for us this coming Saturday and Sunday 10/20-21, in Orlando!
