Book Overview

by Jean Reidy (Author), Amy Jindra Hodgson (Illustrator)

A boastful bear learns how to be a good listener and friend in this endearing, funny picture book by the author of Truman.

Everyone knows that Bob is the biggest, strongest, and smartest bear in the world . . . because he tells them so, over and over again. No one can question him because Bob does all the talking. That is, until the day Bill comes along. Bill isn't big or strong, but he asks lots of questions of the creatures around him. He's interested in everyone, and soon, all the animals are so busy getting to know one another, they stop noticing poor Bob. Until--Bill does! But is Bob finally ready to have a real conversation, one that includes both talking and listening?
