When Nelly asks Bear what kind of bear he is, he isn’t entirely sure how to answer. So off he goes to find out . . . But none of the different bears he meets on his travels are like him. Grizzly bears don’t have funny stitches; polar bears don’t have washing labels attached to their bottoms; spectacled bears are simply not as soft and bouncy as him; and sunbears never wear smart bow-ties. So, disheartened, he returns to Nelly . . . only to discover EXACTLY what kind of bear he is after all – her own special bear!
*This special edition of The Best Kind of Bear comes with read-aloud audio and text highlighting.*
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An intrepid teddy wonders what kind of bear he is and, encouraged by a girl called Nelly, embarks on a journey to find out. At each location he encounters a different type of bear a grizzly who enjoys napping, a black sun bear who loves "honey, honey, honey" but while he shares interests with each, key differences (among them the wash tag on his bottom) distinguish him from others in the family Ursidae. Dispirited, Bear returns home: "I suppose that I'm just an ordinary and uninteresting bear." "You're my kind of bear" Nelly responds, provoking Bear's titular realization that "that's the best kind of bear to be." Barrow's friendly illustrations, awash in painterly layers, lend each adventure-filled scene a storybooklike enchantment that's a ready match for Bear's identity quest. Ages 2 5.
