I thought this was such a cute and funny book where a young bear tries to teach the reader (who replies in speech balloons) how to roar and growl like a bear. The little bear is trying to teach readers how to announce that they want something (like ice cream sundaes), or that they refuse to do something (like taking a bath). But trouble ensues when each vocalization actually says something different than expected, like a roar that means “dress like a clown and join the circus.” The text and illustrations are quite clever, expressive, and humorous. I think it would be perfect for both older and younger children.
