L'histoire d'une amitié improbable entre deux passionnés de lecture
Julia a beaucoup d'amis dans la forêt. Elle grimpe aux arbres avec Léon l'écureuil, joue à cache-cache avec Charlotte la marmotte et fait des concours de pets avec Georgette la moufette. Julia a un rêve: rencontrer un ours, pour le serrer dans ses bras et jouer avec lui. Mais aucun ours n'a montré son museau. Julia veut en attirer un avec du miel. Réussira-t-elle ?
Comment attraper un ours qui aime lire célèbre l'amitié et encourage la détermination, l'entraide et l'amour de la lecture.English description
A tale of two book lovers and one unlikely friendship.
Julia has many friends in the forest by her house. She climbs trees with Scotty the squirrel, plays hide-and-seek with Abigail the groundhog, and has farting contests with Frieda the skunk. Julia dreams of meeting a bear, a bear she could play with and hug. But no bear has ever shown its snout.
One day, inspired by a book she's reading, Julia brings honey (the perfect bear snack) into the woods. The next day, she tries bringing blueberries. But to her great surprise, it's not just sweet smells that can attract a bear! So begins a thrilling quest that will bring Julia to new corners of the forest--and of her heart.
Introducing a spunky young heroine with a nose for books, How to Catch a Bear Who Loves to Read invites children to share their love of reading--and of bearnormous hugs--with Julia.
