Not This Bear: A First Day of School Story

(3) PS Illustrated by Lorna Hussey. "All the bears love school"--and snacks, and storytime, and the playground--but "not this bear." Finding a friend to play with helps, and when asked if he is ready to go home, previously reluctant Bear joyfully replies: "Not this bear." Sweet illustrations feature cuddly bears engaging in typical preschool activities, while the text respectfully acknowledges the anxiety of being separated from Mama.
