On the heels of Bear Is Not Tired comes a delicious new story of a big bear with an even bigger sweet tooth—perfect for fans of Karma Wilson’s Bear Wants More.
When Bear discovers jam for the time, he can’t think of anything else. Mama Duck tells him that growing bears need to eat their vegetables first . . . but Bear can’t stand the strange green things on his plate. He only wants jam! It’s not until Bear notices the little ducks around him eating ALL of their food, that it finally clicks: Bear can have his dinner and his jam. This tender follow-up to Bear Is Not Tired will hit home with every family of finicky eaters.
Praise for Bear Is Not Tired:
“Gavin’s watercolors offer humor and tenderness in equal supply, making this blended family irresistible.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Warm and wonderful.” —Kirkus Reviews on Bear Is Not Tired

Ciara Gavin graduated from the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, Ireland. Her work appears in the National Museum of Decorative Arts and History there and has been exhibited at galleries throughout Ireland. She lives in Dublin with her son.
PreS-Gr 1—Bear and his duck family return in this third installment, which features a sweet lesson about the virtues of foods that don't come in jam jars. Having never tried such perfect preserves, Bear is astonished at how delicious they are and vows never to eat anything else. He refuses to share, starts to sneak into the pantry at night, and generally begins to worry wise Mama Duck. She insists that her big bear have no more jam until he eats his vegetables. Bear's subsequent histrionics include lying prostrate, furry paw thrown across his face, convinced "he would become seriously ill." After a night of hunger pangs, Bear accepts the help of his clever siblings and makes a game of eating his peas, corn, and potatoes. Bear learns to enjoy his jam after a balanced meal and to share with his feathered family. Gavin's warm watercolor illustrations perfectly play up Bear's comical proportions in comparison with his duck family. VERDICT A sweet title that's perfect for storytime and sure to satisfy persistent parents and jam-loving kids.—Jenna Boles, Greene County Public Library, Beavercreek, OH
