Description
A very hairy bear doesn't mind when his nose gets sticky with honey, wet from salmon fishing, or stung by bees, but there is something he does mind.
Quick Summary
Very Hairy Bear is a goofy, fast-paced picture book that kids in kindergarten through third grade will love for its silly, messy escapades. The story follows a bear whose extremely fuzzy coat gets him into all kinds of sticky situations honey dripping down his nose, fish slime, and even a bee sting while the rhyming text keeps the pacing snappy and perfect for reading aloud. There's a gentle twist at the end that even the youngest readers will find satisfying, and the short, simple sentences make it a great choice for early readers or reluctant readers who want a quick, fun story. Parents will appreciate that it's short enough for a bedtime read and contains no scary content, so it works well for quiet evenings. If your child enjoys animal humor with a cozy surprise ending, this one hits the mark; it's similar in tone to "The Bear's Very Bad Day" but with a lighter, more whimsical vibe.
