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.

Critical Reviews

★ "High-spirited and brimming with fun, a charming look at the dawn of a new season and continued good times with friends." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Bear remains decidedly asnooze in this amiable picture book, evoking the buzzy energy of the animals' mischievous excitement." - Publisher's Weekly
