Book Review: Four furry friends, Zebra, Lion, Moose, and Sheep, escape the rain and cold by ducking into a cave to play. Unfortunately, the cave is already occupied by a cranky bear! When the friends wake the cranky bear, he scares them back outside. Zebra, Lion, and Moose (leaving Sheep out) hatch a crazy plan to cheer up the cranky bear in hopes he'll let them come back in. The comical outcome doesn't get the response the friends were hoping for, but sheep has a better plan that saves the day. Written in rhyme, Nick Bland's The Very Cranky Bear is one of a series. The artwork is filled with soft, neutral colors. Each page is engaging and portrays friendly animal characters with expressive faces that young readers are sure to enjoy.
