Norris The Bear Who Shared. Catherine Rayner (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

Date: November 25th, 2014Author: Catherine RaynerTitle: The Bear Who SharedPlot: Norris, a wise and kind bear waits patiently for plorringes to fall from the tree, meanwhile Tulip and Violet, the raccoon and mouse are quite impatient and are determined to get the plorringes for themselves. Setting: Nature; Under the plorringes treeCharacters: Norris the Bear; Violet the Mouse; Tulip the Raccoon Point-of-View: Third-Person Theme: Wisdom and KindnessStyle: Watercolor-style illustrations; Short sentencesCopyright: 2011Notes: Great book for both young and beginning readers to teacher wisdom and kindness. OUTSTANDING illustrations. Love, love, love them! Excellent color, composition, and expression. I need to see more of her work! The story is familiar but just fine (the sequence where Tulip and Violet, ansty with waiting, hug and nearly nearly lick the fruit is great) but clonks down into telling-not-showing didacticism in the last few pages. The illustrations are 5 stars, the text is 3 stars until the ending, which is 1 star.
