About This Book
Reach for this book when your child has a case of the sniffles and is acting like it is the end of the world. It is the perfect remedy for the little one who becomes a bit of a drama king or queen when they are under the weather. The story follows a very grumpy Bear who is convinced his common cold is the most tragic illness in history. As his tiny, cheerful friend Mouse attempts to provide care and entertainment, Bear remains hilariously stubborn and melodramatic. This story is a wonderful tool for normalizing the irritability that comes with being sick while celebrating the value of a patient friend. It offers a gentle mirror for children to see their own behavior through a humorous lens, making it easier to talk about being a good patient and showing gratitude. Best suited for children ages 3 to 7, this book turns a miserable sick day into a moment of shared laughter and emotional connection.
