Review

There was once a bear who did not behave as he should. In addition to bad manners in almost everything he did, he loved to sneak up behind others, count to three, and roar a huge roar to scare them. The animals did not like it and decided someone needed to do something to stop Bear. A soft little rabbit stepped up to the job and stood up to bear. The rhyming story is a lesson in how to be kind and considerate told by adorable forest animals. Their great facial expressions will catch the eye of young readers as will Bear's huge hugs as he makes friends with them all.

Overall Book Score: good
