Bear Feels Sad

Illustrated by Jane Chapman

About The Book

Bear has the lonely day blues waiting for his friends to have free time in this new picture book in the bestselling series.

Bear feels sad. All his friends are off being busy and he’s by himself. He can’t think of anything to do to cheer himself up. Even building a fort is no fun! But when he finds a beautiful field of flowers, Bear gets the perfect idea to turn his day around: gathering gifts to share with his friends when they get back!
