Very Hairy Bear

by Alice Schertle

Very Hairy Bear has hair everywhere. Everywhere, that is, except for his nose.

He does not care if his nose gets wet when he fishes for salmon.

He does not even care if bees sting his nose when he eats their honey.

He does not care if his nose gets blue when he eats blueberries.

But there is something he does care about. Can you guess what it is?

Alice Shertle tells about the life of a brown bear by weaving information into a clever, poetic story that follows one bear's nose. The Kids' Wings classroom unit includes a readers' theater script so you can read along. Here is how it begins:

Voice 1: Hairy bear!
Voice 2: Scary bear!
