LIVE TO GIVE | Let's hear it for the Papa Bear!

I wanted to take this opportunity to give a shout out to all the Dad's this year for Fathers Day! In doing this I stumbled across a wonderful children's book titled 'My Dad is a Bear' by Nicola Connelly. This would be a great present for all the brand new 2019 papa bears to read to their cubs.

MY DAD IS A BEAR

My dad is a bear.

He is tall and round like a bear.

He is soft and furry like a bear.

He climbs and gathers like a bear.

He even has big paws like a bear!

He scratches his back like a bear.

He sure can growl like a bear.

He goes fishing like a bear.

He even sleeps like a bear.

So one day I asked, ‘Dad, are you really a bear?’

‘Well of course I am Charlie, and do you know what bears do best?

‘No.’ I said.

‘Give bear hugs!’
