SUMMARY: This book is a great book to teach children how to have compassion and love for each other. All of Bear's friends want to go out and play, but Bear is coughing and sneezing, because he has a cold. They realize that they need to be good friends and take care of him so that he can feel better. They bring him blankets and sing to him, hoping to make him feel better. When they finally succeed in doing that, they all end up with the same cold, so in the end, Bear ends up taking care of all his friends. He says he does it because they took care of him, so now it is his turn to take care of them. This is a great book to read to kids to help them learn compassion and understanding, just because they want one of their friends to come out and play, doesn't mean they can. But if they are helpful and then they get sick, their friends may just return the favor and help them feel better.
