Bear doesn’t know what kind of bear he is so when Nelly asks him, he takes on an adventure to the four corners of the globe to find out exactly what kind of bear he is.
At each of his four destinations he finds a bear that shares some of his loves – the grizzly bear likes to nap, the sun bear likes honey, the polar bear likes to play in the snow and the spectacled bear likes to climb – all things he enjoys very much, but only in moderation.
But none of the bears he meets is exactly like him.
Grizzly bears don’t have stitching on their tummies, polar bears don’t have tags attached to their bottoms, spectacled bears are not as soft and bouncy as Bear is; and sun bears never wear bow ties.
Disheartened, he returns to Nelly where he discovers what kind of bear he is.
He’s the best kind of bear.
This heart-warming and adorable tale, aimed at younger readers, is the sort any child might imagine for their stuffed animals making it the perfect bedtime story.
