The New York Times-bestselling duo behind Wolfie the Bunny presents a hilarious read-aloud about accidents, outbursts, manners...and the power of saying "I'm sorry."
Bear didn't mean to break a little girl's kite, but she's upset anyway--upset enough to shout "HORRIBLE BEAR!" Bear can't believe it. He's not horrible! But now he's upset, too--upset enough to come up with a truly Horrible Bear idea. In this charming but goofy picture book, readers will learn all about tempers, forgiveness, and friendship as Bear prepares to live up to his formerly undeserved reputation while the little girl realizes that maybe--just maybe--Bear isn't as horrible as she thought.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With wit and tenderness, Dyckman and OHora, the duo behind 2015's Wolfie the Bunny, introduce two creatures who are absolutely furious with each other. A bear inadvertently crushes a kite that belongs to a girl with a mop of red hair. "Horrible bear!" she shouts, and stomps home. Angry at the girl's unfair condemnation ("She barged in!") Bear hatches a plan to get back at her: "It was a Horrible Bear idea." True to the way people process feelings at different speeds, Horrible Bear arrives at the girl's house just as she accidentally damages a toy and realizes that the bear's misdeed was an accident, too. "I'm sorry!" she tells him, "And all the horrible went right out of Bear." OHora works his goofy magic everywhere, observing the way anger causes ridiculous mishaps (the bear stomps through the girl's laundry and arrives festooned with clothespins) and affects innocent bystanders (a puzzled, picnicking goat). Dyckman and OHora portray genuine forgiveness without a hint of moralizing. Ages 3 6.
