The Other Day I Met a Bear Picture Book, First Steps in Music (GIA Publications)

The beloved echo song The Other Day I Met a Bear is stunningly illustrated and includes a description of the history and notation of the song, You will love how the one who ‘Met’ a Bear is a playful Fox. The two new friends have a great time running around in a friendly game of chase. Without changing any words, Julia Miller’s creative setting is a playful romp, or a game of tag. The fox and bear had a great day of fun. The last stanza of the song: “This is the end, there is not more, Unless I see, that bear once more”, lets us know that even through the play is done for the day, they will likely reunite in the future for even more fun! This delightful song functions both as an echo song and a songtale.
