Wow Damian. I’m aware of Fred Bear’s, Yogi Bear’s, Hair Bear’s, but Eclair Bear’s and Silverwear Bear’s ?!
Amazing.
This would be a wonderful present for a young person, the imagery, the colours: it’s sure to find some adoring audiences.
Keep up the great work.

LOve it.
Congratulations, DB! Nice one indeed!
Thanks to all for the kind comments. It would be remiss of me not to mention how amazingly talented Jess Racklyeft is. She is the author of 35 books. She really brought this concept to life with her wonderful illustrations.
Congrats DB, what a wonderful idea (rhyming bears) and book. As you note Jess’ illustrations look fantastic, the cover really does delight the eye. I reckon your words and fun puns will likewise delight the senses. for young ‘uns and oldies.
Cheers
