The Three Snow Bears by Jan Brett


















Setting: Snowy land, Igloo
Characters: Aloo-ki, Dog team, Mama Bear, Papa Bear, Baby Bear
Themes: Manners


Aloo-ki's dog's got stuck on a broken piece of ice. A little while away 3 bears were going for a walk to wait for their soup to cool. Aloo-ki was looking for her dogs when she found an igloo. She went in and smelled the soup. She drank the biggest bowl, but it was too hot. She tried the middle-sized bowl, but it was too cold. Then she tried the smallest bowl and drank the whole thing. In the next room she tried on boots, the biggest were too big. The middle-sized boots were too fancy and the smallest were just right. In the nest room she found beds and she was suddenly very sleepy. The biggest bed was too lumpy, the middle-szied was too soft, and the smallest was just right. She finally fell asleep. The bears rescued the dogs and went back to their igloo. They saw their soup was tasted and Baby's was gone. They saw their boots were tried on, and Baby's were gone with Aloo-ki's left behind. They saw their beds were slept in, and Baby's was still occupied. Aloo-ki woke up and ran away on her dogs. She wave and said, "Thank you," and they said, "Goodbye."
