Summary
One day， a young bear stumbles upon something he has never seen before in the forest。 As time passes， he teaches himself how to play the strange instrument， and eventually the beautiful sounds are heard by a father and son who are picnicking in the woods。 The bear goes with them on an incredible journey to New York， where his piano playing makes him a huge star。 He has fame， fortune and all the music in the world， but he misses the friends and family he has left behind。 A moving tale of exploration and belonging from an exciting debut author-illustrator。

3 1/2 stars。 Cute story of a bear who becomes famous and the friends back home who are genuinely happy for him。

You might think it is impossible for a story about a bear playing a piano to be boring。。。。I assure you， it is possible。The story goes exactly where you think it will。 I found it to be completely humorless。 The ending note is sweet， but not enough to save this very basic， seen it all before， book。 The illustrations are well done， but even they seemed overly familiar。

A young bear cub finds a piano in the woods。 He plays it daily until every he has the skills to perform nightly concerts。 Soon a pair of children see his skill and convince him to come to big city。 His skill and fame grow， but he still longs for his piano in the woods surrounded by friends。 Beautiful story about fame and fans。

Die Illustrationen sind sehr stimmungsvoll und geben das musikalische Gefühl gut wieder。 Aber so an sich finde ich die Handlung dämlich。 Als gäbe es immer nur diese beiden Welten - weggehen， berühmt sein， sich innerlich leer fühlen， oder There's no place like home bei den Bären im Wald。 Wenn ich anfangen muss， Fragen zu stellen wie: Warum kommen ihn die anderen Bären nicht mal besuchen？ Warum kommt er nicht einfach regelmäßig zurück in den Wald？ Warum lassen sich die beiden Welten nicht irgendwi Die Illustrationen sind sehr stimmungsvoll und geben das musikalische Gefühl gut wieder。 Aber so an sich finde ich die Handlung dämlich。 Als gäbe es immer nur diese beiden Welten - weggehen， berühmt sein， sich innerlich leer fühlen， oder There's no place like home bei den Bären im Wald。 Wenn ich anfangen muss， Fragen zu stellen wie: Warum kommen ihn die anderen Bären nicht mal besuchen？ Warum kommt er nicht einfach regelmäßig zurück in den Wald？ Warum lassen sich die beiden Welten nicht irgendwie überbrücken， außer für diesen einen Klavier spielenden Bären， dann stimmt irgendwas nicht und dann ist mir das alles zu simpel。 Sorry。 。。。more

The illustrations in this book are lovely and have lots of details that help the children to understand the emotions of the characters。 I liked that at the heart of the story is a bear who bravely pursues his dream but doesn't forget his friends and family in his journey to fame。 I particularly liked the ending when we see how proud the other bears are of their friend。 The book teaches children the important lesson of understanding that people can be proud of you and support you even when you ca The illustrations in this book are lovely and have lots of details that help the children to understand the emotions of the characters。 I liked that at the heart of the story is a bear who bravely pursues his dream but doesn't forget his friends and family in his journey to fame。 I particularly liked the ending when we see how proud the other bears are of their friend。 The book teaches children the important lesson of understanding that people can be proud of you and support you even when you can't see them/ they are far away。 。。。more

This book was read after the second for me。 Although I like it， the second with a dog made a connection closer to what I might use with children。 This is a wonderful dynamic book， yet I am not sure which students will enjoy as much as the adults who can understand the feelings on a level of experience。 It will be interesting what story is told in the third book。

Loved the story about curiosity to discovery to opportunity。I feel the story missed a mountaintop of a climax other than being the typical depressed of city life for back to home life。Illustrations and colors describing NYC's Time Square and its cultural arts was spot on。 Loved the story about curiosity to discovery to opportunity。I feel the story missed a mountaintop of a climax other than being the typical depressed of city life for back to home life。Illustrations and colors describing NYC's Time Square and its cultural arts was spot on。 。。。more
