Description
A hilarious new read aloud from Caldecott Honor-winning author/illustrator David Ezra Stein, about a grumpy bear whose animal friends are determined to wake him up after a long hibernation. Pairs perfectly with Grumpy Monkey and Ryan T. Higgins's Bruce books.
Spring is here. The world is awake and abuzz, but one animal is still sleeping. Bear! When will he finally wake up from his slumber--and what sort of mood will he be in?
Caldecott Honor artist David Ezra Stein dares to poke the bear with hilarious results and reveals that spring is indeed the best season to be out and about.
