Raves & reviews:
Praise for The Very Cranky Bear series:
“Thoughtfulness and caring for others are the take-home messages in this simple, rhyming tale.” — Booklist (The Very Cranky Bear)
“Bland’s silly jungle tale . . . will have young listeners giggling, particularly once Bear’s all dolled up.” —Kirkus (The Very Cranky Bear)
“Using a singsong rhyme scheme and a comically bumbling animal cast, Bland (The Runaway Hug) playfully introduces the concepts of consideration and respect . . .” — Publisher’s Weekly (The Very Cranky Bear)
“This is a story that begs to be re-read, and it is satisfying on each read through.” — CM: Canadian Review of Materials (The Very Hungry Bear)
“The Very Hungry Bear is a simple and charming story that should create a basis for deeper discussion amongst family, peers and teachers, and most importantly invoke a child to question ‘Why is the polar bear losing his home?’” — Resource Links (The Very Hungry Bear)
“…a visually engaging story… This book will be a delight for children… The Very Itchy Bear teaches children about communicating, learning about other creatures, valuing life and enjoying friendship. Highly Recommended.” — CM: Canadian Review of Materials (The Very Itchy Bear)
“The theme of finally finding a talent after several false tries is comforting for a child and in this case also hilarious!” — Resource Links
