About the book
Julia is very popular when it comes to forest friends. Scotty the squirrel loves to climb trees with her, Abigail the groundhog plays hide-in-seek with her, and she has farting contests with Freida the skunk. ( Kids will love that component I'm sure). There is one animal that Julia is longing to meet and that is a bear. She imagines the fun of getting a big old bear hug from a real live bear! Sounds like heaven.
Julia loves books and loves to read. One day while immersed in a book about bears she decides to bring a pot of honey into the woods to see if she can entice one to try a little sweet snack. Unfortunately that doesn't work but Scotty the squirrel loves it. The next day she leaves a basket of blueberries in plain sight hoping to lure one in. There that should do the trick she surmises.
On her return from lunch she discovers big, blue paw prints and that her book is gone! Oh my! Adventurous Julia follows the paw-print trail and what she discovers not only fulfills her dreams but leads her to wonderful friend who loves books just as much as she does. She "bearly" can contain her happiness as her kindred spirit wraps her in a hug.
The illustrations are full of action, detail, fun and happiness. I love a book where the overall theme is the wonder and joy of "reading books." I highly recommend this book.
