The Very Hungry Bear

The Very Cranky Bear is back, and now he's hungry! When the Very Hungry Bear goes fishing, he ends up catching more than he bargained for — a polar bear, with an armful of fish, who needs help finding a new home!

Vibrant illustrations and a fun, engaging story make this book perfect for reading aloud. This is the third book about the delightful and endearing Very Cranky Bear. The Very Cranky Bear was first published in 2008 and has become an international best-seller.
