Book Details
The story of an adorable bear's first day of preschool, Alyssa Satin Capucilli's Not This Bear, featuring illustrations by Lorna Hussey.
It's Bear's first day of school, and he's a bit reluctant to go. Mama says all bears love school; Bear isn't so sure.
But school turns out to be full of fun-painting pictures, listening to stories, and making new friends.
Maybe this bear will like school after all.
