The story could be used in a lesson to help introduce a harder concept, such as war. It could also be interesting to relate the book back to Pooh bear.
panPretty wordy but interesting because it is a true story and possibly relates to Pooh bear.
pickFinding Winnie by Lindsay Mattick (2015). Caldecott Award Winner. The story is a beautifully illustrated children's book that relates the interesting true story of the most popular bear, Winnie-the-Pooh. Mattick recalls her great-grandfather's role in rescuing a cub named Winnie. Each page depicts soft, dreamlike watercolors that nicely meet the story's peaceful tone. The story is an excellent combination of history, family stories, and adventure.
This book would be a great way to explore war in an age-appropriate manner. It can introduce students to the concept of events that happen around the world.
