Does a Bear Poo in the Woods? is a funny rhyming romp featuring a very shy bear, winsome illustrations by Mike Byrbe and deft storytelling!
Barry the Bear wakes up after a long sleep and searches for a place to go to the bathroom. He's shy, so he wants privacy. Looking for the perfect hidden spot, Barry runs into a moose, woodpeckers (who will poo anywhere!), smelly skunks and an old friend Brenda Bigpaw.
Brenda tells Barry there's the perfect place just up the stream where he can poo happily. Barry finally spots a cozy cabin. It's a true poo paradise. No sooner than Barry gets comfortable, the homeowner returns. Both Barry and the woodsman are surprised. Barry tells the woodsman he'll have to wait. The woodsman runs off, and Barry thinks he's not the only one who is shy to poo in public.
Toddlers will delight in a story about poo.
Young readers will love the antics of Barry and what kid doesn't like a book about poop and skunks farting? New words for young readers are: clambered, peering, lurking, desperate, familiar, reeds, paradise, and .trekking
