Synopsis

What child doesn't imagine being able to fly? Well, Bear is no different. When he sees seagulls at the beach whirling and diving, he must learn how. Luckily, there are four children who know exactly how to make that happen: Take a trip to an amusement park and play on all the rides. Swoopy swoopy swoopitty swoop!

An exhilarating story that showcases Rosen's signature lyrical style, Bear Flies High is another perfect read-aloud with a familiar and lovable character.

From Booklist:

With a format similar to Bear’s Day Out (2007), this follows the appealing bear on a trip to an amusement park. As before, Bear repeats his refrains with a question tucked in the middle: “I wish I could fly up high. / Up high? / Up high!” Four children take him under their collective wing, so to speak, and show him how he can do just that. With a text construction that’s pleasing to little listeners and oversize watercolor artwork that gives children a sense of time as the colors change from bright morning to nighttime sky, this makes a delightful story hour choice.
