First sentence: Once there was a river that flowed night and day, but it didn’t know it was a river...until...Bear came along. Bear was just being curious...
Premise/plot: Bear falls into an unexpected adventure...quite literally. He’s in for the ride of a lifetime...as he rides a log down the river. But he’s not alone in the turbulent waters—he’s continually being joined by other animals that soon become friends. What does the river have planned?!
My thoughts: I really loved the story and the illustrations. Especially the illustrations. I would say they are adorable. But that word has connotations for some people. (As does the word precious.) I don’t mean this is a super sticky sweet-sweet read. It’s not unbearable 🤣😂. No, the story is just right as a metaphor for living life.
Text4/5
