About This Book
"I Am Bear" introduces readers to a boisterous and lovable bear who loves to play practical jokes and make his friends laugh, or sometimes chase him in mock pursuit. The narrative is delivered through engaging, rap-style rhyme, making it a lively and fun read-aloud experience. It's a story about the joy of playful mischief and the bonds of friendship, even when those bonds are tested by a little naughtiness. Perfect for children aged 4-8, it encourages laughter and interaction.
Bear fills his day with food, funny jokes, tricks on his friends and an escape right off the page when they all chase him in pursuit! With jaunty rap-style rhyme, first-time children s author Ben Bailey Smith joins debut illustrator Sav Akyuz for a picture book starring a lovable, slightly naughty bear whose antics will have young children smiling in solidarity.
