Recently we ran into a great book that came out a few years ago: A Birthday for Bear. The story is written by American children's author Bonny Becker and the brilliant illustrations are by Canadian Kady MacDonald Denton.
The story starts like this: Bear is a grumpy person who likes a clean house, wants to be quietly on his own and he hates surprises. But...Bear has a little neighbor and his name is Mouse. Mouse is a cheerful little guy, he likes to have fun, go to parties and he loves surprises. Mmmm how would that go with those two? Bear doesn't want Birthday cards, presents and especially no visitors! But when he finds a cake on his doorstep ...
Do you see what the present is that Mouse got Bear for his birthday? Just take a good look! Isn't that fun? We think that in the end Bear is very happy with his gift, just look at his snout!
3 beautiful glowing stars for A Birthday for Bear, from the young mini-monsters and their out-loud readers!
