    The Children’s Book Review

    A gentle story about the importance of sharing something special with friends . . .

    Share Big Bear Share_Two Lions (2)Share, Big Bear, Share!

    Written by Maureen Wright

    Illustrated by Will Hillenbrand

    Publisher’s Synopsis: Big Bear’s forest friends eye his berries hungrily, but he doesn’t notice as he digs into his delicious snack. When the old oak tree says, “Share, Big Bear, share,” he thinks the tree has said, “Hair, Big Bear, hair!” One comical scene follows another as Big Bear keeps misunderstanding the old oak tree’s message until things finally get sorted out. Whimsical illustrations highlight the humor in this gentle story about the importance of sharing something special with friends.

    Ages 3-7 | Publisher: Two Lions | 2017 | ISBN-13: 978-1503951006

    About the Author

They have three grown sons, two grandsons, and two cats named Juanita and Squirt. They also dog-sit their son’s black lab, Gus.

    About the Illustrator

    Will Hillenbrand and his wife, Jane, live in Cincinnati, Ohio, and have one grown son. Will grew up listening to stories that people recounted in his father’s barbershop. As he drew pictures of the stories he heard, he discovered that illustration was another form of storytelling. He has illustrated, or written and illustrated, more than fifty titles, including Down by the Barn, Off We Go, Bear in Love, Snowman’s Story, Mother Goose Picture Puzzles, and the Bear and Mole series.
