What do we need? More bears! And lots of fourth wall breaking!
A pretty decent book, though I have to say the gimmick was over for me by the halfway mark of the book. I noticed I couldn't really give a care in the world about the new bears. Sure, I was a bit curious about what would be added, and if the author would finally stand up to the unknown shouters and say no.
And yes, that happened, at the end, and only because there were so many bears that the pages were overflowing with them and they started arguing. :P Not really a spoiler, you can see that the tension is slowly building up + that there are just too many bears around for them to have space.
The new bears were quite interesting, it was quite fun to see what the author created, he made the bears really come to life. With descriptions of colour, of what they do, a little titbit about them that made them special (like the one carrying a hamster). Yes, I still couldn't care about them, but I still was curious as to what the author would make now.
The art was pretty OK, not entirely my favourite style, but still OK.
The ending was a nice one, now I guess the author has to write about that. :P

The illustrations are so clever and fun. I can imagine it would be fun reading this with students and getting their suggestions for more bears.

How many times have you been reading a picture book aloud, maybe to your own children, maybe to a classroom full of kids, maybe just to the people waiting on the subway platform or in line at the grocery store (they love that, trust me), only to be interrupted by some goldfish-cracker-eater clamoring for this or that or the other?

This would be a great book to talk to students about not taking everyone's suggestions and instead doing what they think is best. They want to stand out not fit in.

This was alright, cute concept, but nothing crazy special. I'm starting to see how narrow my children's book interests are when I say this, but I really think it should have rhymed. XD Oh well.

Great read aloud. Makes for a fun group, interactive read. It's fun, quirky and lively.

Read to 3,4,5 year olds- super fun and interactive. Participation: every time I point to the speech bubble, listeners call out, "More bears!"
