80. Tiny Bear Can, Too!


Board book: Tiny Bear Can, Too. Yusuke Yonezu. 2024. 16 pages. [Source: Library]

First sentence: If the frog...jumps...Tiny Bear jumps, too! If the cat...stretches...Tiny Bear stretches, too! If the snake...wriggles...Tiny Bear wiggles, too!

Premise/plot: Tiny Bear is an active bear in this interactive board book for the very young. Each spread includes two flaps to lift...or flap if you prefer. 

My thoughts: The illustrations are simple yet charming. For being so simple, Tiny Bear comes across--at least to me--as expressive. I'm not sure the other animals are quite as charming. But Tiny Bear is cute and adorable. The book also offers a lot of visual contrast.
