About this book

Every bear is welcome, but just how many bears can you fit in a bear jamboree?

This energetic picture book is a read-aloud treat with the bouncy, rhyming text races through a parade of opposites: big bears and small bears, fast bears and slow bears, tidy bears and messy bears, all calling one and all bears to join the fun. The repetition and chant-like rhythm make it easy for children to anticipate lines and join in, keeping storytime upbeat and interactive.

The illustrations match the playful tone with a bright, colourful array of bears and plenty to spot on each page. Warm, funny, and cheerfully celebratory, this story works well as a crowd-pleaser for group reading, or a go-to book for exploring opposites and difference in a light, friendly way.
