That's what happens to one little lad in "Grizzly Boy" by Barbara Davis-Pyles and Tracy Subisak.
Theo is the lad in question, deciding to shun his human traits to become a GRIZZLY!
Alas, Grizzly Boys still have to go to school. Grizzly Boys don't get to eat sugary cereal, and yep they even have to obey all the rules too - whether or not they think scratching their bums with the bed-post is acceptable once you decide on their new Grizzly status.
A fun and entertaining romp this, with lots of clever shadow-play in the illustrations underpinning a highly amusing story of getting out of bed on the furry fuzzy side.
Will Theo change his ways? Or will being a Grizzly be too much fun to want to change back?
Scratchy paws, big yawning mouth, sounds familiar! |
Again, more brilliant illustration touches here! |
