Thank You Bear

This delightful little book brings issues we all face in life to light. It's short, simple to read but has so much depth. It's great for using with adult learners as well as the very young.

Thank You Greg Foley!

Thank You Bear is one of the sweetest books you'll ever find. Though a children's book, its message makes it perfect for any age.

Wonderful little book

I thought about purchasing the book because my grandson is called Bear and the illustrations are simple and lovely. Then I read it. Wow. Powerful message and oooohhh so simple. Eloquent book of few words.

Delightful Story, Beautifully Drawn

With its refreshing, pared down style and a simple but deeply resonant message, Thank You Bear is a delight for children as well as the grown-ups in their lives. Touching on important themes like generosity, diversity and self-doubt, it is ultimately a beautiful tale of friendship and the depths of the heart. A Must for your child's collection; one to keep and pass on. My children adore it.

Lovely book with a nice lesson

Thank You Bear teaches the timeless lesson that we should be happy with what we have, and not be concerned with what other people tell us we need. It tells this lesson, but not in a pedantic way. The story is simple and fun, and the illustrations and characters are wonderfully appealing. My kids, 8 and 4, both loved it!
