This was the first book that was written by author David Van Buren. This book is rich with similes. From page to page Van Buren talks about the love that Big Bear and Little Bear share for each other. He uses such similes like, "I love you as bright as the sun," "I love you as blue as the sky," and, "I love you as high as the mountain top."
This would be a great book to use in writing when teaching similes. Since this book is riddled with so many, it makes it very simple to talk about how to compare something in writing to something else. This book does not have much more to it, so students can stay focused on the specific, yet sophisticated and complex lesson. If you did not use it for writing, I think it would be just a fun and cute book to read to a primary class to talk about the importance of relationships between living things.
This is the first book written by David Van Buren. However, if you like the illustrations by Tim Warnes check out Rise & Shine and A Surprise For Rosie. He is mostly known for his illustrations of animals.
