PreS-Gr 1--Three cubs collect honey for Mummy. After they fill their pots, greedy Guzzley Bear appears from behind a tree, bullies the smaller bears, and takes their honey. Their mother comes to the rescue and frightens Guzzley so that the sweet liquid now goes into her children's tummies, "Yum, yum, yum, yummy!" This book has just the right amount of tension and release to capture the attention of toddlers. When mother bear jumps out of the bushes and yells, "BOO!" they will surely respond with glee. The loose pencil-and-watercolor cartoons add to the fun. With a repetitive text and simple plot, this book is a grand choice for a preschool storytime.Martha Topol, Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City, MICopyright 1998 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
