Donovan is going on a bear hunt in this popular story, now in a sturdy board format!
Donovan knows exactly what he wants for breakfast: not eggs, not pancakes, not cereal. He wants BEAR, just like his Indigenous grandfather used to eat for breakfast!
So Donovan sets off to bag a bear of his own, going on an adventure through the woods, where he meets an ant, a squirrel, and a dog — but they are not bears, so he shoos them away!
When Donovan meets a real, big and growling bear, he quickly learns that sometimes breakfast tastes best when it doesn’ t have any teeth!
This board book edition has been simplified for the very youngest readers.
