An exciting story about a precocious bear cub who doesn't listen to his mother and almost ends up in the hands of the Big Bad Wolf! Fuzzy Wuzzy, his brothers, Bob and Hal, and sister, Sal, were told to stay in their lair while Mama Bear went fishing. But Fuzzy, bored, decides to explore the world. Ivan the Wolf could not have been happier to see him, given how hungry he is. Can Fuzzy escape Ivan's clutches?
Fuzzy Wuzzy is a story with real photos of bears and a wolf that helps children learn to listen when given directions. The pictures are clear and further the story line. The bears are adorable. The wolf is . . . realistic! For a child who might need reminders about listening to parents, this is the perfect read aloud. Children who like science and animals will like it as well. Many of my students preferred nonfiction photos to cutesy clip art, and they paid better attention to real photographs. Of course, the story is fiction and ends happily as all good children's stories do!
