The Very Clever Bear by Nick Bland

Bear tries his luck under the big top in the latest book in Nick Bland’s beloved
series.
The circus has arrived in the Jingle Jangle Jungle and Bear’s friends have the
perfect circus acts. Bear wants to come up with a very clever trick of his own.
But when he peeks behind the scenes, Bear finds that the animals at the circus are
being mistreated. So Bear does what any clever bear would do. He hops on his
bike and rescues his friends.
This fun story of standing up for friends is told in Nick Bland’s rollicking rhyming
text — perfect for read-aloud!
