Here is a review from Midwest Book Review that will surely interest
Jewish Librarians:
"A new release from the popular Animals Build Character series promoting
compassion, respect, and responsibility from observing animal wisdom,
"The Grizzbears Make New Friends: Listen and Learn From the Animals,
Book 2" is sure to please an audience of young readers ages 5-10. Using
animals from the Golan to teach thoughtful ways of showing respect,
compassion for others, and other positive character traits, this
original series is written and illustrated by a talented Israeli former
preschool teacher. Divided into six illustrated chapters in 39 pages,
"The Grizzbears Make New Friends" describes stages of adjustment as the
Grizzbears family of four settle down to live among the other animals of
the Golan Mountains. Welcomed to the community by many other animals,
including Saba Owl, Giveret Deer, Lulu and Momo Fox, and more, the
Grizzbears encounter experiences such as homesickness, adjustment to new
situations, helping others and encouraging shy friends, and brotherly
love vs. sibling warfare. Every chapter ends with a Think and Discuss
Questions list that encourage readers to apply story concepts to their
own lives. Engaging, creative narrative is amplified by unusually
colorful illustrations of the wise animal friends in the story. "The
Grizzbears Make New Friends" is a great teaching book for children of
different ages, cultures, and backgrounds. The Animals Build Character
series demonstrates that wise animals can make good counselors and
teachers. Other titles by the same author from this series that are also
highly recommended include: "The Grizzbears Discover the Golan," "Momo
Fox Learns How To Be a Good Neighbor," and "Excitement In the Air For
All!" Also very highly recommended are the following titles from the
Animals Build Character Series by the same author/illustrator: "The
Grizzbears Discover the Golan, Book 1" (9781936778256, $9.95), by Aviva
Hermelin, "Momo Fox Learns How To Be a Good Neighbor, Book 3"
(9781936778089, $9.95), and "Excitement In the Air For All, Book 4 "
(9781936778195, $9.95)."
