Welcome to Wandering Bear Books
We love picture books.
They are an indispensable part of childhood; we take them seriously, but also make sure they cause giggles during story time.
Children thrive when given time to WANDER in the pursuit of learning, PLAY as their work and, IMAGINE worlds full of possibility.

Here’s our cozy, autumn-themed book, Foxes in Fall. It’s about two little foxes wanting to play with their woodsy friends before winter arrives. Lyrical and rhyming in vivid fall colors. This is a great way to introduce the concept of hibernation. Available as a hardcover in our SHOP (link to book in shop), or as a softcover in our Amazon store.
