About This Book
Filmore likes nothing better than to play with his woodland friends, but when an unpopular character, Bernard Bear, tries to join the fun, Filmore and the others turn him away with cruel taunts and bullying. Filmore's conscience gets the better of him, but before he has a chance to apologize to Bernard, the little cub must risk his own life to save the lives of the very animals who had misjudged him. Bernard's heroic act becomes the catalyst for the forest animals to see beyond their fears and g
Our Review
This gentle woodland story tackles the important themes of bullying and redemption through the story of a bear cub who faces rejection from his peers. When Bernard tries to join Filmore and the other forest animals at play, he's met with teasing and exclusion, creating a poignant scenario that many young children will recognize from their own social experiences. The narrative thoughtfully explores how quick judgments based on appearance or reputation can lead to hurtful behavior, making this animal adventure both engaging and meaningful for early readers.
What sets this picture book apart is how it demonstrates that true courage often comes from those we least expect, as Bernard's selfless act of bravery ultimately teaches the other animals about compassion and second chances. The story provides a natural springboard for parents to discuss empathy, kindness, and standing up against bullying with their preschoolers and kindergarteners. Young listeners will be captivated by the forest setting and animal characters while absorbing valuable lessons about friendship that extend far beyond the final page.
