The Barely Visible Bear  by Ted Pollock

Genre: Children's Book

There is nothing quite as active as a child's imagination, so when ten year old Julia tells her family that she is communicating with a bear who visits with her, it is not surprising that they are skeptical.  In fact, Julia was somewhat skeptical herself when Mischa's head first "barely" appeared, but as Micha the bear explained himself, she began to believe. In fact, she asked if she could see more of him, and all six feet of him "barely" appeared.  He was there to watch over her, he explained, and had been for quite some time.

Since only Julia can actually see Mischa, things get a bit awkward when he appears.  She has to make up stories, and life gets complicated.  The Barely Visible Bear is just the kind of story, complications and all, that young children can relate to, and Julia's relationship with Mischa is fun for us to follow. There is a little boating adventure to add spice to the story, and author Pollock ends it on a happily ever after note that will leave young readers smiling.

The author makes us want to be friends with Julia and her entire family as they try to understand what is going on with Mischa, the barely visible bear.  Although the book has a definite ending, it does leave room for a sequel where this furry lifesaver can explain more about his background as he continues to watch over Julia.
