About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels pressured to 'fit in' with a group activity they simply aren't enjoying, or when they struggle to express a differing opinion to their friends. While the rest of the gang is thrilled about their fishing trip, Bear is having a miserable time, and the story explores the tension between wanting to be with friends and wanting to be true to oneself. Through humor and adorable animal characters, Ariel Bernstein creates a safe space to discuss social dynamics and the validity of personal preferences. It is a gentle, funny, and highly relatable choice for preschoolers and early elementary students who are navigating the complexities of peer pressure and individual boundaries.
