I Am Reading: Brown Bear Gets in Shape

When Brown Bear hears a crash and his house goes all dark, he and his friend Bunny think the sun has dropped out of the sky! Luckily, Chimp has a different explanation… Next, Brown Bear decides it’s time to pay more attention to his figure. He tries dieting by eating carrots like Bunny, and doing exercises like Chimp. But could it be that the best shape for Bear to be is simply bear-shaped?

This fabulous read-alone treat from a popular series bridges the gap between picture books and chapter books. With glowing colour illustrations and an audio CD to read along to, it’s a really satisfying story for little learners to devour!
