Description
A story about sharing and how important it is to say what you mean.
Bear is all set for a perfect day. The sky is blue, there’s not a cloud in the sky, and he has all of his most favourite things in the world by his side—a cookie to nibble on, a book to get lost in, a bright balloon to keep him happy, and the perfect bench to take a rest on.
But no sooner has Bear made himself comfortable, than along comes Fox who wants to share the bench too. Bear agrees, begrudgingly. But no sooner has he overcome the idea of sharing his bench when Wolf pops up to ask for a bit of cookie . . . and then Rabbit jumps up to read his book . . . and then Elephant lumbers along to play with his balloon. And before Bear knows it, it’s all become too much for him! AAAAAARGH! yells Bear.
From author-illustrator Natalia Shaloshvili, this is a whimsical and laugh-out-loud funny picture book about how hard it can be to say what you really mean—and why it’s best to avoid bottling up emotions, so they don’t come bursting out in one big AAAAAARGH.
