"I'm so excited I found this book! I remember reading it YEARS ago, and LOVING it! I just put it on hold at the library to read with my preschoolers next month for our Teddy Bear "T" Party, and I can't wait to get my hands on it again! It is one I definitely want to purchase! The illustrations are timeless and THE BEST! This is the familiar song "The Teddy Bears Picnic." An absolute TREASURE and FAVORITE!"
"Loving the song decades before the book overlaid its own images makes it hard to assess the later book/song combo. The book's picnic was much more lavish than the one in my imagination, more of a Teddy Bear extended-family reunion. With a great quantity of balloons (as well as bears).
I think the song version I heard growing up would have been the Bing Crosby one, not sure who the background vocalists would have been. Now I'm going to have to look and see who did the song included in the book--but I think it's on a 45, so I won't be able to play it easily.
Somehow I connect the song to the days of Pam and Debbie Nevius, friends of my brother Steven and my sister Caryl. Caryl gave us the picture book/record set (as I mentioned in another post)."
"Now, usually I think that adding books for very young children is cheating. You don't get credit for reading a Sandra Boynton board book, even if Moo Baa La La La is pure genius (it is, by the way). But I break my own rule for this one--I can still picture every page and sing the song. Buy it."
Topics and themes: This story chronicles a day when all the bears come out into the woods for a picnic. It demonstrates a sense of community.
Curricular Use: Good for introducing text and music in a read aloud.
Social: The story shows how a community of bears an come together and enjoy the day together. It talks about, and shows in the pictures, the bears doing picnic activities together.
Literary elements: This book goes along with the song 'The Teddy Bears' Picnic'. It can be a good way to use both print and music along with a story.
Text and illustrations: The illustrations add to the text. The text talks about the bear's picnic but the illustrations take the story to a new level. The illustrations show that people are actually getting dressed up and go into the woods as the bears to join the picnic."
