Bear Feels Sick by Karma Wilson and A Visitor for Bear by Bonny Becker

Bear is alone
When the autum wind blows,
He is feeling achy
With a stuffed up nose.

He tries to sleep
But he starts to sneeze.
He tosses and turns
And begins to wheeze!

What will happen
When his friends come 'round.
And they find him sick
On the cold cave ground?

Will they run away
Or get busy quick
To help their friend,
The bear that's sick?

You can read the story
Called Bear Feels Sick,
By Karma Wilson.
Better get it quick!

A Visitor for Bear
by Bonny Becker

Bear likes living alone in his big house. He even has a "No Visitors" sign on his door.

What do you think will happen when a persistent little mouse decides to become an uninvited guest in Bear's house?

Big changes are in store for Bear and his mousey guest in this sweet story! Your students will enjoy acting out the story and comparing it with other stories about reluctant friends.
