Description

Jonathan is sure there are no bears on Hemlock Mountain. When he is given the task of going over the mountain to his aunt's house to borrow a large pot for his mother, he reassures himself over and over: "There... are... no... bears... on... Hemlock... Mountain... no... bears... no... bears... at... all." Once at his aunt's house Jonathan dawdles, enjoying cookies and a nap. When he wakes up he realizes that it is very late, and now he must go back over Hemlock Mountain - in the dark! Despite his repeating over and over to himself that there are no bears, suddenly he meets some. Thinking quickly Jonathan puts the large iron pot upside down in the snow and hides under it. Jonathan learns a hair-raising lesson in being responsible for your own actions.

    Study guide

    We are finding this really good for reading comprehension. I think it would be good if some of the questions had more detail and/or examples given of what type of answer is expected.

    The Bears on Hemlock Mountain

    The Bears on Hemlock Mountain teach family values, respect, and forgiveness while encouraging young students to think about the consequences of their actions. The meaty vocabulary and chapter by chapter questions challenge students in the areas of academic excellence and moral character.
