A hungry bear is searching for a meal, but he is stung by a bee and becomes angry.

Quick Summary

Kids who love goofy animal mishaps will get a kick out of this quick, funny story. A hungry bear sets out to find a tasty meal, but a single bee sting turns his grumble into a goofy tantrum that will have little readers laughing out loud. The short, easy-to-read sentences and clear pictures make it perfect for early readers or a bedtime read-aloud, and at only 425 words it's a great choice for a quiet night. Parents can rest easy knowing there's a gentle lesson about patience hidden under the humor, and the tension never gets too scary just a grumpy bear and a buzzing bee. If your child enjoyed The Berenstain Bears or other animal-centric tales, this one will feel right at home.
