He’s actually forgotten he’s a bear, so he tries being other animals to see if he can figure out what he’s meant to be.
A bird, a moose, a fox, a squirrel — poor Bear is none of these.
He retreats to a cave for a little (or big) nap, and in doing so discovers exactly what he is.
A Bear is a Bear (Except When He’s Not) is a fun and funny story kids will love.
With lots of repetition and fun rhyme throughout, it’s a great book for reading to a large audience, with lots of opportunity for interaction.
A bear is a bear, except when he’s not…
What would he be, if a bear forgot?
With colourful and funky illustrations, a simple storyline, rhyme, repetition and loads of silliness, kids aged three to six will adore this one.
