Bear Snores On is the first book in Karma Wilson’s series about Bear; a huggable and loyal friend, connoisseur of popcorn, and avid swimmer. It’s that time of the year and Bear has gone to sleep for a long time. What happens when several of his woodland friends happen upon his warm lair?
Bear Snores On is a great book you can use to teach young readers about seasons, hibernation, friendship, and sharing. There are so many big lessons in one small book!
Karma Wilson’s reading of Bear Snores On was filmed during Angie Karcher’sRhyming Picture Book Revolution Conference (RPBC). The purpose of the RPBC is to educate and support authors who write rhyming picture books.
KidLit TV’s Read Out Loud series is perfect for parents, teachers, and librarians. Use these readings for nap time, story time, bedtime … anytime!

ABOUT BEAR SNORES ON
Bear Snores On(Illustrated by Jane Chapman) – One by one, a whole host of different animals and birds find their way out of the cold and into Bear’s cave to warm up. But even after the tea has been brewed and the corn has been popped, Bear just snores on! See what happens when he finally wakes up and finds his cave full of uninvited guests — all of them having a party without him.
Karma Wilson grew up an only child of a single mother in the wilds of North Idaho. Way back then (just past the stone age and somewhat before the era of computers) there was no cable TV and if there would have been Karma could not have gotten it. TV reception was limited to 3 channels, of which one came in with some clarity. Karma did the only sensible thing a lonely little girl could do…she read or played outdoors.
Playing outdoors was fun, but reading was Karma’s “first love” and, by the age 11 she was devouring about a novel a day. She was even known to try to read while riding her bike down dirt roads, which she does not recommend as it is hazardous to the general well being of the bike, the rider, and more importantly the book. Her reading preference was fantasy (C.S. Lewis, Terry Brooks, etc…) and historical fiction (L.M. Montgomery, Laura Ingalls Wilder, etc…). Those preferences have not changed much.
Karma never considered writing as a profession because her mother was a professional writer which made it seem like boring and mundane work. At the age of 27 she realized that she still loved well written children’s books of all kinds, from picture books to young adult novels. By that time Karma was a wife and the mother of three young children. Trips to the library with her children were a combination of emotions…when they got a good book there was fun to be had by all, but so many of the books weren’t what her children wanted to listen to.
Earth Day’s 45th anniversary could be the most exciting year in environmental history. The year in which economic growth and sustainability join hands. It’s our turn to lead. So our world leaders can follow by example. I have very excited … Continue reading →
Jaime Wong of Chronicle Books masterminded one heck of a wonderful teacher guide to One Thing Stolen, the new novel which yesterday received its first official review, the Kirkus. The guide is now (as of this very minute) available online, here.
With thanks to Jaime and to the designer who made this guide look so lovely — and to the programmer who made it available.

Once again, the Chronicle team has done an exquisite job of creating a teacher's guide.
This time the guide was created in support of One Thing Stolen, a story about dangerous obsessions, an Italian city, an historic flood, and hope, due out in April 2015 (more on the book here). We'll be posting a live link soon. This, above, is just a fragment. It moves me deeply to think of someone giving a book such close attention, pondering its heart and lessons, and crafting (and designing) a guide this lovely.
The teacher's guide to Going Over, another Chronicle masterpiece, can be found here.
Thank you, Jaime Wong and Chronicle Books.

Lois Duncan is one of my very favorite YA authors. I read her YA paranormal suspense novels over and over again as a teen–they helped me survive those years–and I’ve read them many times over the years. They always grab me and pull me right through the story, making me feel and care. I was inspired by her books.
If you haven’t read her books, I highly recommend that you do. If you have–go get your free teacher’s guides!

Thank you for liking these, Cheryl. But there’s one mistake in your post, my non-fiction bk about my own daughter’s murder, WHO KILLED MY DAUGHTER?, is not one of the 10 titles. That bk is available from Amazon as both a hard copy and e-book, but it’s not a Little Brown title so couldn’t be included in these teachers’ guides.
Are you a teacher, or do you have a book club? Then you might want to download my free Teacher’s Guide. It’s rich and thoughtfully written by Deb Vanasse.
There’s also a Para Survival Handbook (from the point of view of Paras and their supporters who are trying to survive in a world that oppresses them).
a ParaWatch Guide (from the point of view of the Normals who are trying to oppress and hunt down Paras)
a “newspaper article” on Paras by a reporter who’s read Caitlyn’s anonymous Teen Para blog (from the book).
We’ve created lots of new content this February to help you extend the experience of reading our books long after the last page has been turned. Here are some of our newest resources to go with our titles:
Today on the Bounding for Books Blog Tour my guest is illustrator and book publisher, Joy Delgado! This book was published by J.O.Y Publishing's Laughing Zebra - Children's Books.
Shari: You have such wonderful ideas for going beyond reading. Tell me about the game you are working on.
Joy: I’m in the process of creating a bilingual board game for 1-3 graders. I’ve taken my V Zoo that’s in the back of “Zooprise Party / Fiesta Zoorpresa” and am using that for the board. I plan on having three different types of cards. They will be Animal Trivia, Act (the child will act out the animal behavior on the card) and Who Am I? (Clues the child will have to figure out which animal has all the traits listed) All the answers to Animal Trivia and Who Am I? will be included in the game in a fun way.
I still have a lot of work to do, but so far I’ve gotten great feed back. When it gets to the serious testing stage, I have a number of schools in Puerto Rico and hopefully will add some schools across the US, to test it.
All the animals at the V Zoo are sworn to secrecy. However, last week I think it was Mori that mentioned it over at the “Zooprise Party / Fiesta Zoorpresa” blog when Zebee was announcing “Zebee’s Summer Zoo Camp.” It’s a virtual summer camp. Your readers can check it out over at the ZPFZ blog.
Shari: Your daughter, Rebekha wrote “Zooprise Party/Fiesta Zoorpresa” and you are the illustrator. Have you always been an artist?
Joy: Heavens no! I did want to be a fashion designer when I was in college, even got my degree in Home Economics with an emphasis in fashion merchandizing and design. However, this was my first attempt at it professionally. I do “paint with fabric” by incorporating machine and hand stitching, appliqué and more. I started creating these about 8 years now.
Shari: What prompted you to illustrate this book yourself?
Joy: I wanted the challenge. It’s something I’ve thought about for several years and wanted to see if I could teach my old brain new tricks. It’s been lots of fun.
Shari: Your illustrations are delightful! Did it take you long to illustrate the book?
Joy: Thank you Shari. My first challenge was teaching myself how to draw on the computer. “Zooprise Party/Fiesta Zoorpresa” is computer generated. I joke and tell friends that if someone asked me to draw Mori or Lito I couldn’t because I did it all on the computer. I’m drawing more now and am able to draw and paint on canvas better than I could when this project started.
Shari: You also published this book. Is this the first book your company has published?
Joy: Actually, I started my company, J.O.Y. Publishing to self publish Bible studies. The first one debuted in 2004, “Miracles of the Gospels” and the second one, “Parables of the Gospels” is almost done. I plan to add more divisions in the future, like craft books and maybe travel books.
Shari: Do you publish other writers?
Joy: Not yet. I won’t say I never will, but I don’t think I will. My husband and I like to travel, a lot. I think if I were to start taking on other authors I’d be too tied down. Must have gypsy blood or something. (grin)

Thank you Shari. It sure keeps me busy but it drives my hubby nuts. He's always telling me I am doing too many things. I tell him God made women multi-taskers.

Great post! Joy - I can't believe you taught yourself how to illustrate on the computer! I can barely draw a simple lady bug on here without it looking shakey.
Thanks Margot. Zebee says hi and wants to know if you'regoing to participate in 'his' zoo camp? Check it out over at http://www.laughing-zebra-children-books.com/zoocamp.html It's gonna be lots of fun!

Oh! Sorry; I’ll correct.
