About This Book
Another Book about Bears is a wonderfully meta and humorous early chapter book that explores the plight of bears who are simply exhausted from being in every single story. When they go on strike, readers are treated to a comical search for new protagonists, from sloths to hippos, each proving to be 'not quite right.' It's a playful take on storytelling, character roles, and the power of saying 'enough is enough.' Perfect for children aged 4-11, it encourages imagination and a fresh look at familiar narratives.
Ever wondered why there are so many books about bears? Discover the grizzly truth in this bear-all account. Bears are tired. Sick and tired. And just when they are in the middle of something really good - like sleeping, snoozing or napping - they have to stop what they are doing and get up and be part of a story. Every story. Well, the bears have had enough. They are going on strike. This hilarious book looks at some alternatives for all the parts bears play in stories. But what sort of animal could be... juuuuuust right?
