      PreS-Gr 1-For his birthday, Bear receives a bright yellow kite. Bear plays with his wonderful gift, running through meadows, along the sea, and into the forest until it is caught in a tree and torn. At first, Bear is sad to have lost his gift but when it is repurposed by a bright yellow bird he realizes that he has gained something even more valuable. Whimsical illustrations give the book a quiet and magical ambiance. Bear pulls his kite along the seashore with a party hat perched jauntily on his head. The kite string accumulates detritus during the journey, ultimately festooning his forest home with clams, twigs, flowers, and pinecones. VERDICT A gorgeous picture book that imparts its message of kindness and renewal with precise words and delicate illustrations. Perfect for fans of Michelle Cuevas's The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles or Julie Fogliano's If You Want to See a Whale.-Laken Hottle, Providence Community Library, RI
