Bear

這是一個關於分享，以及勇敢說出真心話有多麼重要的故事。

大熊已經準備好要度過完美的一天。天空一片蔚藍，萬里無雲，他身邊帶著所有最心愛的東西：一塊可以細細品嚐的餅乾、一本能讓他沉浸其中的書、一顆讓他心情大好的鮮豔氣球，還有一張最適合放鬆休息的長椅。

然而大熊才剛坐得舒服點，狐狸就走過來想一起坐長椅。大熊雖然勉強答應了，但才剛克服「分享長椅」的念頭，大灰狼又冒出來想分一口餅乾、接著兔子跳上來想看他的書，然後大象也慢悠悠地晃過來想玩他的氣球。在大熊意識到之前，這一切都讓他快要受不了了！

「啊啊啊啊啊！」大熊終於忍不住大吼。

這是作家兼插畫家納塔莉亞·夏洛什維利（Natalia Shaloshvili）筆下一個幽默、逗趣且讓人會心一笑的繪本故事。

它描繪了有時要說出心裡的真心話有多麼困難，以及為什麼我們最好不要壓抑情緒，以免最後像大熊一樣，情緒堆積到極限後化作一聲驚天動地的「啊啊啊啊啊」。

A story about sharing and how important it is to say what you mean.

Bear is all set for a perfect day. The sky is blue, there's not a cloud in the sky and he has all of his most favourite things in the world by his side – a cookie to nibble on, a book to get lost in, a bright balloon to keep him happy and the perfect bench to take a rest on.

But no sooner has Bear made himself comfortable, than along comes Fox who wants to share the bench too. Bear agrees, begrudgingly. But no sooner has he overcome the idea of sharing his bench when Wolf pops up to ask for a bit of cookie . . . and then Rabbit jumps up to read his book . . . and then Elephant lumbers along to play with his balloon. And before Bear knows it, it's all become too much for him! AAAAAARGH! yells Bear.

From author-illustrator Natalia Shaloshvili, this is a whimsical and laugh-out-loud funny picture book about how hard it can be to say what you really mean – and why it's best to avoid bottling up emotions, so they don't come bursting out in one big AAAAAARGH.
