The Bear Must Go on by Dev Petty

4.0

What a wonderful story about supporting your friends and how they can allow one to step out of their comfort zone. @devpetty 's The Bear Must Go On, a group of forest friends get excited (putting it VERY mildly) about creating and putting on a show for the rest of the forest - all of them except Bear who is very shy but still wanting to help his friends says he will keep note. Well the group brainstorm madly and bear quietly and quickly adds the ideas of his friends his notebook all the while humming and singing a tune to himself. From designing curtains to snacks the group adds ideas and proceeds to carry out their plan. When the curtain goes up and Bear's three friends realize they forgot to write a show, Bear has an idea, and with the support of his friends The Bear Goes On. Wonderful story with beautiful illustrations by @heybtodd who captures the personality and the hectic pace of Fox, Squirrel and Rabbit balancing it out with calm and quiet Bear - everyone will see themselves somewhere in the story.
