Giveaway: Bear Feels Scared by Karma Wilson
By Bianca Schulze, The Children’s Book Review
Published: April 30, 2009

Recently I reviewed one of Karma Wilson‘s latest books, Mortimer’s First Garden, and now I have two signed copies of Bear Feels Scared to giveaway. Bear feels Scared touches on many great topics suitable for preschoolers: friendship, feelings, feeling scared, and helping others. Using rhyme, which Karma does so well, and the repeated refrain “And the bear feels scared,” a beautiful story of compassion unfolds.

Thanks to Karma Wilson, I have two signed copies of Bear Feels Scared to give away to two individual lucky winners.
Here is what you have to do to enter (maximum entries, 3):
- Go to Karma Wilson’s website (http://www.karmawilson.com/) and find out the name (but don’t tell me yet) of her newest character who makes her debut in Where is Home, Little (fill in the gap)?, the story abut a baby penguin who finds her way home to her family. This is the first book in a new collaboration series with illustrator Jane Chapman. Once you know the name of the penguin leave a message in the comments field below. If you are one of the lucky winners, I will contact you directly and you will need to tell me the name of the penguin before the mailman will deliver the book.
