THE VERY HUNGRY BEAR
BLAND, NICK
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Bear is hungry! He's trying to fish, but instead of food, he only manages to catch...a polar bear? The poor bear is
lost and his ice floe is rapidly melting. The polar bear makes a deal — he'll give Bear a pile of fish in return for a
new home. Bear takes his new friend on a tour, and finally they find just the right home for a polar bear. The
Bear we all fell in love with in The Very Cranky Bear and The Very Itchy Bear is just as delightful as always
&mdashl and much less cranky with the promise of food on the horizon! This new story features the same bold,
clever illustrations and catchy rhyming text that made Nick Bland?s first two Bear books instant favourites. Told
with his characteristic humour and wit, The Very Hungry Bear is both an endearing tale of friendship and a
subtle, yet important, reminder, about preserving our environment.
