Never Brush a Bear
by Sam Hearn, Emily Pither
3.8 Stars
Herschel is a pet hairstylist and wants to brush a real bear. He goes into the woods looking for one despite the warnings that bear are big and scary. Herschel meets a bear and realizes that it is actually a shy and cuddly animal. He goes to brush the bear and fulfill his wish.
The story is quite simple but adorable. The illustrations are super cute, bright, and lively. These are also much like how kids would assume animals to be, cartoonish and endearing. I enjoyed going through the colorful pages of illustrations and loved how artfully the elements were incorporated into each page.
The narration comes in a sort of rhymed verse which didn’t meet the expectations. It is awkward in places and felt forced. I felt the book would have been a solid 5-star if the narration was in regular simple sentences with no rhyme or rhythm.
The story is cute, and so are the illustrations, so kids will still enjoy this one. You’ll have to explain the meanings of a couple of words, though.
To sum up, Never Brush a Bear is a cute book and will tickle the kids.
