David Biedrzycki
2014
Children’s fiction
This children’s book opens with Jean Louis from the TV show Our Furry Planet going into a bear’s den and poking a sleeping bear. Not a good idea! The bears wake up and cleverly hitch a ride into town on top of the TV truck. Hilarious mayhem begins. The bears explore the town, going into a diner, trying on things at Paddington’s Department Store, and using a photo booth. The townspeople, police and TV crew are running every which way, but the bears are having a fine time. Kids will love the bright, colorful pages of this book, which are full of activity. You’ll have to read it to discover how this breaking news story turns out!
