Bear gets a baby sister.... ok, a huge, frightening monster of a baby sister. My son loved the Bear and Mrs. Duck book so when I found this one with the same characters I was thrilled. And he likes it... sort of - after all, Nora and Bear and Mrs. Duck are all there. But the drawings of Bear's new "baby sister", Roly Poly, which, or who, is a present to Nora from grandma - a sort of weird combination of fantasy and reality - are just frightening, no way around it. At least they're frightening when she opens her mouth. But bear and his sister come to love each other and all's well that ends well. I guess. ( )
