Bobby the Bear Helps Build a Nest

“I can’t do it!” It’s a sentiment that has been expressed by many children. The idea or belief that you can’t do something can ruin confidence in a student. In Bobby the Bear Helps Build a Nest, readers explore the theme of persistence alongside Bobby. Ollie, a baby owlet, is trying to build a special nest for his sister, Olive. After failing at the task, however, Ollie throws a tantrum. He is overheard by Bobby the Bear, a big brother and mentor to many of his forest friends, who attempts to console his little friend. Bobby explains that we do fail at times, but that it’s okay. He encourages Ollie to not give up and not allow adversity to defeat him.

Bobby teaches children not to give up when adversity strikes. He also teaches others to be patient and kind when helping someone who is struggling with failure. Bobby the Bear Helps Build a Nest explores the common theme of persistence and, at the same time, touches on the theme of patience. The story fits into the overall theme of the series which is to help guide students to be kind and respectful towards themselves and others.
