This lovely sequel to Bear’s Don’t Read! (also on OmniLibros.com) features George, the bear who lives with a little girl called Clementine and her mother, who taught him to read. One day, he decides to take his library book back to the library by himself. Along the way, he sparks panic all over town. People are afraid, shops close, and the library closes, too. Poor George lands in a fountain, the diverse crowd laughs at him, and his library book gets ruined. Just then, Clementine runs from the crowd. When George sees her, he bursts into tears. Someone in the crowd whispers, “Bears don’t cry, do they?” Clementine explains that they have hurt his feelings. A lady from the crowd gives him a hankie; they are all genuinely sorry. The librarian brings George a new library book, which he then reads to the crowd. Colorful, detailed, lively illustrations enhance this heart-warming story about friendship and kindness. mjw |
