A Children's Book Council of Australia Notable Book.
"This cleverly presented book is reminiscent of Jim Henson's 'Muppets' books... a welcome resource in the classroom for teachers who are helping their students negotiate the tricky friendship road." ReadPlus
Bear has lots of friends if you count her toys, but she's note sure how to make real friends. And she especially wants to be friends with Koala and Lamb. They both have fluffy ears and like green things. What's a timid bear to do?
Luckily, Bear discovers that friends don't have to all like the same things; they just have to find things they enjoy doing together. And Bear is great at that.
A story about making friends while keeping the qualities (and quirks) that make you unique.
