The Tree That Bear Climbed by Marianne Berkes & GIVEAWAY

Do you remember the childhood story, The House That Jack Built?  It's a story that builds upon itself, creating a rhythm that children cannot resist.  The concept and rhythm is just what Marianne Berkes brings us in her story, The Tree That Bear Climbed.  Let me give you a little peak . . .


These are the roots
that anchor the tree
that bear climbed.

This is the soil
that feeds the roots
that anchor the tree
that bear climbed.

This is the rain
that waters the soil
that feeds the roots
that anchor the tree
that bear climbed.

Berkes continues her tale, building both the tree and the story to the very top.  Readers learn the parts of the tree, starting with the roots and ending with a little surprise.  I also discovered that as I read the tale to my own children, they even began chanting the last lines to the story right along with me, making it a very fun and educational read-aloud.

The Tree That Bear Climbed is a book that is published by Sylvan Dell Publishing.  As with all of their books, you can find additional educational tips, resources, and activities to accompany this book both in the final pages as well as online.  I am excited to announce that thanks to Sylvan Dell Publishing, one of my readers will also receive a copy of this book to share with the children in their lives!!  See below for more details:
