What does a bear do all day? Eat and sleep? Let the sun shine on his stomach? Trick bees and steal honey? Far from it! A bear like that does things you wouldn't expect to do right away: he shares his bed with the elephant, kisses sunflowers, sails across the sea, tells stories around the campfire, makes banana porridge for the sick monkey, sometimes comes home late and likes to wear sombreros. Who would have thought it? Erwin Moser has written lovely bear verses for young and old and provided them with delightful pictures. Rhyming pleasure and a feast for the eyes of the whole bear family, beautiful to hum!
