Bear's friends want to play but Bear is sick. Bear's friends come to his cave to take care of him while he is sick. When Bear feels better, his friends get sick so he takes care of them. This book is a good book to teach students about empathy and the importance of friendship. It also shows how it is for someone to take care of you when you are sick or feeling down.

This is a good example of a picture book/fantasy/fable because it talks about a bear being sick and all his friends taking care of him but it is true in many ways because shows how when being sick it's nice to be taken care of and people are there for you to make you feel better. It's a fun book for children to read because they can relate to it in many ways of being the one who has been sick or being the one who wants to take care of someone they love who is sick.
