A BERRY HUNGRY BEAR

Berry picking can turn into a much bigger adventure than planned; just ask Bear.

He wakes up hungry for his favorite food, blackberries, but when he heads into the forest looking for them, rather than blackberries, he finds himself faced with a series of mysterious events, both entertaining and frightening.

The alert reader may solve the mystery of the missing blackberries, even before puzzled Bear, by paying careful attention to the clues in the exquisite illustrations.

This delightful story about friendship and affection, told from the animals’ perspective, is best enjoyed as a shared reading activity.
