Bear's Scare

Description

Bear likes to keep his house clean and tidy. In fact, the only thing Bear loves more than cleaning is taking care of his small stuffed friend, Henry. Then Bear sees a sticky spiderweb ... and where there's a web, a spider can't be far behind! But when Bear and Henry go looking for their messy guest, what they discover might just be an unlikely friend. Opposites attract in this charming, stunningly illustrated story about kindness and acceptance, where new friends come in all shapes and sizes.
