Bear at the Fair
A hangry bear goes on a rampage through a local fair—pushing friends aside, roaring, and generally doing all the nasty things we do when we’re hungry. Finally, sweet Shrew identifies the problem and Hare conjures up a quick snack. Satisfied, and a little ashamed, Bear apologizes and insists on fixing the damage he’s caused. Until Shrew gets a bit hangry herself…
A funny, rhyming romp that introduces readers to phonics and decodable text.

Midwest Book Reviews - Bear at the Fair
Bear at the Fair by Sophia Gholz tells of a grumpy bear that crashes the local fair with destruction and a bad attitude…Susan Batori’s whimsical illustrations enhance a rollicking rhyme that shows how strangers come together to problem solve and… just perhaps… become friends in the process. Even the bear.
