Three Bears in a Boat by David Soman**

 This book is delightful!! I love the allusions (which only adults will understand but could point out to their kids). The illustrations are full page. The ocean illustrations took my breath away; I felt like I was in the middle of the waves. This book reinforces the importance of honesty and forgiveness. 

Three sibling bears break their mother's favorite blue seashell. To avoid punishment, they sail into the ocean to look for a new shell. They experience an adventure without attaining their goal. How Mother Bear is illustrated reminds me of the mother in Little Bear books by Else Holmelund Miniarik illustrated by Maurice Sendak.

**Highly, highly recommend.

-Borrowed from the library.
