Winnie the Pooh, Me and Bear Help the Forest: The Leaves are Coming!
There is much to love about Winnie. Especially his joy in a blustery day and leaping into leaves. It's the first day of autumn! A time of hot chocolatey mornings, and toasty marshmallow evenings, and, best of all. a leaping into Leaves. Winnie the Pooh I love leaves too. And so does Bear in my most recent book, Bear Helps the Forest(Maybe you help too). Share the joy of dancing and crunching, jumping in leaves with Bear(and Pooh). Maybe you help the forest too. Find out how. [...]
Look what’s here!
That's right! Already I see a few leaves beginning to fall. Twirling, swirling, red and yellow and bronze. Soon there will be piles for miles. Piles for crackle and crunching and playing and jumping. For Bear and for me it's a favorite time of year. Ok, it is a bit early but look what else is here. Just arrived in the mail. Just in time to get ready for leaf playing. Check out the teacher guide, and learn more about me and Bear and where those piles of leaves go, here: https://karenlynnwilliams.com/items/bear-helps-the-forest-maybe-you-help-too/ [...]
Bear goes to the Library!
Look where I was this weekend! The library! Always a favorite place. Bear was there and she wants to know where did the leaves go?(Maybe you do too) We read. We twirled and swirled like autumn leaves, like Bear. Swoosh and crunch and stomp. And then we made our own autumn leaves. (Maybe you can too!) Can't wait for those autumn leaves to tumble down Piles for miles. For jumping and dancing and twirling and swirling.
