Ormerod, Jan. Maudie and Bear, illustrated by Freya Blackwood. $16.99. Content: G. PICTURE BOOK. This is a book with five stories starring Maudie and Bear. Maudie is an adorable little girl. Bear is her best friend. These stories explore the two enjoying bike rides, making snacks, mending differences, and sharing quality time together. There is one story that is a take-off from Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The illustrations are quaint and memorable. For that alone the book is worth reading. Some stories were tender and memorable, other were not. We didn’t like how bossy Maudie could be. She obviously represents young toddlers, but Bear’s unwavering devotion to Maudie isn’t realistic. Pre-K. EL (K-3). OPTIONAL. Reviewer: SL.
