Books with title Big Brown Bear

Debut author Shirley Rowold spins a satisfying tale of moral dilemma. Two young girls, Britta and Sylvan, grow up in a small village where everyone knows each other. For the first few years of their lives, one particular activity brought these friends together on a daily basis... playing. However, as Britta matures, she begins to take great pride in learning lessons and skills from her grandmother. This moves playing a little lower on her list of priorities. Sylvan, on the other hand, wants absolutely nothing to do with learning the skills her mother places before her. Playing is number one on Sylvan's list and anything resembling work sends her running in the opposite direction. It doesn't take long for Sylvan to see Britta reap the benefits from hard work, but will this change her mind about working for what she wants in life? Rowold's work has the same moral resolve as Aesop's The Ant and The Grasshopper -- "there's a time for play and a time for work". Shirley Rowold grew up in Warren, Arkansas but currently resides in Brownsboro, Texas near Tyler, Texas where she is at work on her next project. Website Address: www.eloquentbooks.com/BigBear.html

Basil the brown bear has a dream; he wants to go Dizzyland, an amusement park that he has read about in the newspaper. Getting there will be difficult as getting out of the zoo will not be the easiest of things to do. What he needs is a disguise so that people do not recognise him as a bear but as a person.An idea springs to mind one day when a hat is blown into his cage. All he needs are some other items and what comes along next is just what he needs. It is the face mask of a famous person. The only problem is that he has to cut the nose of the mask off; otherwise it will not fit over his big nose. All set, one day he borrows his keeper’s coat and makes his way out into the world beyond the zoo.It is a strange place, made even more so by the fact that most of the people do not seem to understand his English which he has practised speaking for many years. And the fact that people keep recognising him as someone famous, but keep thinking that the nose is wrong. Some of them find his paws hairy but this does not stop him from searching for the magical Dizzyland.This book is meant to be read to the younger reader and for somebody to sometimes help the more advanced reader.
