The mystery is solved…the other side of the mountain was not all that the bear saw! This charming picture book tells “the rest of the story” as the bear goes over the mountain and discovers all the surprises waiting for him. Combined with singing the original folk song and counting the images on each page, you can extend the story to the “Other Side of the Mountain” by imagining what the bear saw on the way back home. Is there a mountain close to where you live? A hill in your neighborhood? A forest or a park? Or just your own back yard…all are perfect places for children to imagine new adventures and add to the Bear’s story.
