Bearnard receives an important letter from the Queen of Storybook Land: he’s going to star in his very own book! Bearnard is excited—until he starts reading other bear books to prepare. Then he begins to worry about needing to float in an umbrella, make messes (he’s a tidy bear, you see), or have his porridge stolen. Fortunately, Bearnard’s good friend, Gertie the goose, is right there to support him when he needs her.
Bearnard’s Book is a tribute to bravery, friendship, and the power of being yourself!
