Children will learns the signs up spring in this book. Terry spots little bear in his backyard. He wants to play with this little bear. Mother bear calls her little cub back to the woods. Something goes wrong. Will Terry be able to help?

Boys and girls will learn about the bears and their habitats. They will also learn about spring as well. The picture are done well once again. The author will learn though this book. The story is also quite quick read. Young readers will be able to read this book themselves. They also can learn about the environment and the world around them.

It enjoyable read. It also an even good for parents to read to their children. Children can have an adventure and learn to help and learn to make new friends.

I was really hoping that I would like this graphic novel but honestly it just fell flat for me. The concept of it could have been amazing. From the description I thought it would have been more of a graphic novel and less like a picture book. You would have one to two pages of text and then a drawing. It was nothing that I was expecting.

Unfortunately, the stories weren't even that spectacular nor did the drawings make up for it. At one point, a drawing was in the middle of the story and "spoiled" the ending which was just bad placement.

The pictures were okay but really nothing special. It was nothing spectacular.

All in all, It was okay. I probably won't pick up another book from this author.

*I received this book from NetGalley.

Discworld Industrial Revolution #1
<2021 update>

I hadn't realised that this book had the first appearance(s) of Ponder Stibbons, Arch-Chancellor Mustrum Ridcully alongside that of Gaspode the Wonder Dog! (well, maybe I knew the latter)

<original review>

Book #10 in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, which (for my money) stands alongside Soul Music as one of his best works, perhaps because these are the two books it is easiest to catch the many allusions in!

This is the one where Discworld discovers the magic of the Motion Picture, culminating in a not-quite-right scene of a giant lady carrying a screaming ape up a tall building (Ankh-Morpork's Tower of Art in the Unseen University), and is also, perhaps, the only book where CMOT Dibbler is actually a major character rather than an extra.

There are roles that feel like they were written for the actor. The main character feels like he was written for Matt Damon. I did read the book first and it was easy to picture Matt Damon as a witty braniac botanist. Probably because at the end of the day that's just who he is.

This movie is about a man's surviving, not only the untamed dessert wasteland that makes Mars, but also the crippling aloness of being the only human for hundreds of thousands of miles.

WHOA! That was one heck of an epic tale. it was nice to see everything come full circle. A perfect bridge between films, it reveals small things relevant to the second film while hinting at the bigger picture. My one and only problem was the addition of the lesbian blacksmiths, they were just kind of there, like "Hey representation" and when I thought they were going to help resolve the conflict it was Olaf who helped instead.

Still, it was an immensely enjoyable book.

"When I first heard that one of my favorite authors was working on a new book about growth, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. (Two years ago, I wrote that I wait for new Smil books the way some people wait for the next Star Wars movie. I stand by that statement.) His latest doesn’t disappoint. As always, I don’t agree with everything Smil says, but he remains one of the best thinkers out there at documenting the past and seeing the big picture."
