Delivery Bear
by Laura Gehl
Age: Preschool-1st grade
Community Helper: Delivery "driver"
Delivery song can be sung to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"
Zogby isn't your usual petite, fluffy-tailed delivery animal but his heart has been set since he was a little cub. Unfortunately, Bear's are still seen as predators in this world and the delivery recipients get scared out of their minds when they see Zogby at their door. A bunny costume doesn't help Zogby but a new, personalized delivery song eases the customer's minds.
The story has a good flow and, paired with the interrupting screams, this will make for a great read-aloud. A good lesson for teaching children acceptance, but adults may want to sneak in a couple apologies from the customers for jumping to conclusions (ala discrimination against Zogby) since they are not provided by Gehl.
