A Bear Is a Bear (except when he's not)

This charming and humorous picture book follows a bear who wakes up from hibernation with a serious case of amnesia, forgetting his own species. He tries on various animal identities, from a bird to a moose, in a delightful and silly exploration of self. Perfect for ages 4-8, it gently introduces themes of self-discovery and identity in a lighthearted way, reassuring children that it's okay to sometimes feel unsure about who you are. The story encourages curiosity and self-acceptance, making it a wonderful read-aloud for bedtime or quiet reflection.

When Bear wakes up early from his hibernation, he can’t remember what he is! Is he a bird? Or a moose? Maybe a fox? Just when it seems like Bear won’t be able to figure it out, he finds his cave and decides another nap might help. Will Bear be able to remember what he is when he wakes up again in the spring?
