A wonderful children's book used with the Five in A Row program.
The picture book "Ask Mr. Bear," published around 1930, has been around for a long time, and has rather old-fashioned pictures, but is still a favorite with very young children. The little boy asks the farm animals what he should give his mother for her birthday, but but she already has everything suggested. Finally, he goes alone into the woods (because the animals are all afraid to accompany him) to meet Mr. Bear, who suggests that he give her a bear hug.
