About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is transitioning through a physical or emotional growth spurt and seems to have an insatiable need for comfort, food, or attention. It is the perfect story for those days when a little one feels like they just cannot get enough of what they need to feel settled. The story follows a gentle bear who wakes from a long winter sleep with a rumbling tummy. Despite his best efforts to fill up on berries and clover, he still feels empty until his friends throw him a surprise party. This charming rhyming tale validates the feeling of big hunger and big needs, showing children that their community is there to help them feel full. It is an ideal choice for toddlers and preschoolers who are learning about rhythms of nature, the value of friendship, and the joy of being taken care of by those who love them.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and safe. It touches on the physical sensation of hunger and the frustration of unmet needs, but handles them with a light, metaphorical touch through the lens of animal behavior.
