Read it because the title is the sickest burn I've seen thus far in a children's book.

The story is about a family of bears that eat huge amounts of never ending delicious food in preparation for hybernation. I had to at least eat a pancake after finishing it.

Turns out, the title bear isn't that smart after all. It's just a preteen twin forming his identity by focusing on developing his unique characteristics in contrast to those of his brother, Oliver, almost to his detriment.

Mediocre illustrations and writing, cute main theme. ( )
