Uh-oh. Bear's head is stuck in a bucket. Oh, my. Oh, no. Fortunately Bear's good friend Dog is there to rescue him. Dog pulls, and he pulls, and he pulls—and still that bucket stays stuck. Things get sillier from there, as these two great friends get themselves into and out of tricky situations involving a very bouncy bed and a very messy room.

Praise for Dog and Bear: Three to Get Ready

“As wonderful as ever . . . Superb.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Whether listeners or emerging readers, children who are already friends with Dog and Bear will delight in these latest adventures, and those who are new to their escapades have a treat in store.” —School Library Journal

“The simple expressiveness of the friends’ mutual concern and Seeger's inventive use of time and physical space . . . adds to the duo’s magnetism.” —Publishers Weekly

“Young children will love the situations, told in very few words and spacious pictures, drawn with thick black lines and bright colors, that express the friends’ frustrations and bonding.” —Booklist
