Mysterious and fun, captures interest and delight of new readers
My daughter has just started reading on her own, and this has been her favorite so far! Many early readers are geared towards silly story lines, but this one manages simplicity with fun and excitement. The anticipation grows and the ending is satisfying. There's some play along the way with mom cutting out cookies super fast as she chants that there are no bears on hemlock mountain and nothing to be afraid of. My daughter commented that she had never thought of bears coming out of hibernation in spring quite like that before. The anticipation brings nature to life instead of just watching a special about bears. Definitely a classic. My daughter is a 10 year old with dyslexia and I am happy to find reading material this good that is also easy enough for her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bears? Aha…Just right for 8 yr old boy
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2023
Verified Purchase
A reluctant reader, my extremely active 8 yr old, wants to do it, fix it, build it but… not usually…read it. Attempting to encourage summer reading,
I expected a grim tugg of war on this not -a -zoo or skate board, or pickleball kind of day, but by the end of the first chpt. -he was totally engaged in the is there? Is there not? up the Mtn journey.
By an engaging quick read a loud, this child was captured by the pace up, down, and over Hemlock Mtn. Held his attention on a sleepy summers day but…Maybe even a better read on a dark snowy night? Or a fall evening over marshmellows and a fireside? A solid good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this one!
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2020

I don't know how I missed this one! What a great story about a little boy who perseveres at his task and uses ingenuity to escape danger. My granddaughter loved The Courage of Sarah Noble. This one, also by Alice Dalgliesh, is another a great story that I'm sure she will love. The repetition of certain lines makes it a great read-aloud for 4-5 year olds, and a great tale for young elementary children as well. Note to teachers: It's a good short one to keep the attention of students when time is limited.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Thin, Quick Read*Great First Chapter Book for New Readers
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2016
Verified Purchase
This book is not what I expected. Online I couldn't tell that this was a thin book; I expected it was a normal-sized book that would take a bit of time to read, but no: I read it in one sitting and was able to read it aloud to my kids at bedtime in one go. It doesn't even have page numbers.

All that said, the story is sweet, and would be a great first chapter book for a child who just learned to read. Love the graphics, too. My kids draw while I read to them, and both of them were inspired to imitate some of the graphics from the book.

Just know when you purchase this that it's more like a picture book with a story than a chapter book that will take time to read. It's a quick one.

I bought this book to read aloud to my kindergartner. We read it over the course of a few evenings. I had never heard of it before but having read it now, I would definitely recommend. Lovely pictures and story! Teaches an interesting lesson.

Meine Tochter hatte das Buch von der Schule bekommen, jedoch fehlten schon so viele Seiten, deshalb war ich froh es noch einmal erwerben zu können!!!! Die Geschichte ist für Lernanfänger super, jedoch der Einband eine Katastrophe und wir saßen am zweiten Nachmittag und haben alle Seiten mit Tesa aneinander geklebt!!!! Die hielt gar nichts mehr! Nun ist es eine dicke "Tesa-Kladde", vielleicht hätten wir die einzelnen Seiten einfach lochen sollen und dann in einen Hefter abheften sollen????

1.0 out of 5 stars Neue Bücher die zerfleddern und deren Seiten sich lösen
Reviewed in Germany on June 7, 2016
Verified Purchase
Ich habe 20 Bücher gekauft um sie im Unterricht von den Schülern nutzen zu lassen. Die Bücher, obwohl neu, haben eine ganz schlechte Qualität. Die Seiten lösen sich aus der Bindung und das Buch zerfleddert regelrecht und zwar von Anfang an. Von den 20 Büchern sind alle von so mieser Qualität. Da es etwas gedauert hat, bis ich die Bücher in der Klasse genutzt habe, kann ich sie nun auch nicht mehr zurückgeben bzw. umtauschen.
Zukünftig werde ich meine Bücher wieder im Buchladen kaufen.
