The perfect thing to do on a chilly day is to make a blanket cave. But, of course, a comfy cave never stays empty for too long...What's a boy to do when a bear takes over his cave? Try to distract him with a trail of blueberries? Some honey? A nice long back scratch?
How to Share with a Bear is a story about how although it's not always easy, sharing with a sibling can make things even more fun!

School Library Journal-Rezension
PreS-Gr 1-Thomas builds an indoor fort to read in, but when he goes to gets his books, a bear moves in! Thomas does everything he can think of to lose the bear, luring it out with blueberries, honey cereal, and water play in the sink. The bear finds everything he puts out fascinating, but he always follows Thomas back to the fort. At first, the bear is glimpsed from behind or with his face in a bowl. It isn't until he is shut out of the fort and starts to cry that readers see the face of Thomas's little brother in a bear suit. Thomas really is a good big brother and decides to make a bigger fort so they can share books together. The artwork is heavy in yellows, browns, and blues. Thomas is a friendly, round-faced boy, and his brother looks like a large teddy bear. There is nothing scary here, just great problem-solving skills and sibling fun. VERDICT Preschool children will enjoy listening to the silly, sweet story. Older ones will be able to read it themselves-perhaps in a fort with a sibling.-Kelly Roth, Bartow County Public Library, Cartersville, GA © Copyright 2015.

Horn Book-Rezension
Each time his back is turned, Thomas's cozy, newly constructed pillow cave is taken over by a bear until it's repeatedly lured out with various tactics (blueberries, a back scratch, honey, etc.). Homey, warm-toned illustrations with smart perspectives deftly hide the ending's sweet reveal: a little boy in a bear suit who just wants to be with his older brother. Cave-building tips appended.

Kirkus-Rezension
Thomas makes a cozy cave that attracts a small bear. Creative and clever, Thomas uses pillows, blankets, and seat cushions for his living room hideaway. But he needs a few more items to make it perfect. When he returns to the cave, he hears bumps and thumps and discovers a bear has taken up residence. He leaves a trail of blueberries to entice the bear to leave, and it workstemporarily. Thomas tries everything he can think of that might appeal to a bear to lure it away for good. A back scratcher, some bath toys, and some honey cereal all produce the same temporary results. When Thomas manages to get into the cave to read, the bear can't squeeze in and starts to cry. Kind Thomas takes pity, builds a larger cave, and shares it with the bear, who readers finally see is actually his adoring little brother. Pinder employs accessible, descriptive language to lead Thomas to his generous conclusion, without becoming preachy or cloying. Young readers may be surprised at the identity of the bear, but there are several visual hints and lots of delightful details to be found in Graegin's illustrations. Glowing shades of yellow, blue, and bear-brown on a soft, light sepia background surround satisfyingly legible text. At the conclusion, little ones are given simple instructions for building their own caves. Tender and charming. (Picture book. 2-6) Copyright Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
Booklist-Rezension
This wry look at sibling relationships is also a sly celebration of low-tech fun. Thomas wants to read books in a cave he makes out of pillows and blankets, but it is too dark inside. When Thomas returns with a flashlight, two eyes peer back. A bear has invaded his cave! Thomas concocts several hilarious plots to lure the bear out, including making a trail of berries and turning the bathroom sink into an enticing fishing hole. Readers may suspect that the bear, who is only shown from the side and back, is Thomas' little brother wearing a bear costume by myriad clues in the illustrations. Only after Thomas finally reclaims his cave is the bear's face revealed, tear-strewn with distress that he can't fit in, too. In a sweet conclusion, Thomas builds a bigger fort for them to share. The soft, pastel illustrations give this book a fitting old-fashioned feel. This is a lovely, comic acceptance of how difficult, yet rewarding, having a sibling is.--Fletcher, Connie Copyright 2015 Booklist
