A Bear in War door Stephanie Innes

A poignant, subtle story about a family's loss to war told through the perspective of a stuffed bear sent to a soldier on the Western Front as part of a care package who was later killed in battle. A good World War I story told from a uniquely Canadian perspective and complemented with moving illustrations.

A Bear in War door Stephanie Innes

When Lieut. Lawrence Browning Rogers went to war in 1915, he left behind a wife and two children in Canada. For two and a half years, family letters flew back and forth across the Atlantic, and so too, one Christmas season, did Teddy, a small brown teddy-bear sent by Aileen Rogers as a holiday gift for her father. When Lieut. Rogers was killed in October of 1917, while serving as a medic during the Battle of Passchendaele, Teddy was in his front pocket. And when his uniform and medal were sent home to Canada, so too was Teddy...

Co-written by Rogers' great-granddaughter, and narrated by Teddy himself, A Bear in War is the true story of one Canadian family's experiences during World War I. Discovered, along with other war mementos, in a family suitcase in 2002, Teddy can now be found at The Canadian War Museum, where his story - and that of his owners - has been preserved. With its simple, poignant narrative, in which a loving family is caught up in the great historical events of their time, and beautiful illustrations by Brian Deines - whose artwork so impressed me in SkySisters - A Bear In War is well worth the time of any young reader interested in the history of World War I, or in the issue of honoring veterans for their service.… (meer)

A Bear in War door Harry Endrulat

I am always on the look out for a new Remembrance Day story that children can learn and relate to the historical time period. I felt a Bear in War was a great book for my students this year. I read it in 2 parts as it was a bit long and it allowed me to read it and discuss at the same time. I loved how the story was told from the teddy bear's perspective.
