This book features a novel storytelling technique that combines fiction with non-fiction.

It’s a rare breed in the children’s books field, so if you are looking for a conventional book you should continue your search, but if you’re on a lookout for an original, non-traditional work then take a look inside.

Nine-year-old Bear is set on having a critter as a pet. After failed attempts to adopt beetles and snails, he has to settle on a book with pictures of bugs. This is a great opportunity for him to annoy his little sister, Penelope, who is afraid of bugs.

When his parents decide to bring home a cat to help Penelope with her nightmares, Bear helps Kitty find her wild side. As a consequence, Penelope’s nightmares get even worse!

Over-tired Mom is about to give in on the snake debate, which seems to be a perfect solution for all, but Bear has other plans…

Read how Bear manages to get his dream pet and what inspired the author to write this entertaining and beautifully illustrated picture book suited for kids ages 6-9 years old, especially those craving a pet. Any pet.

Bear with Bear is a fun, interactive children’s ebook. It tells the story of nine year old Bear, who really wants a pet, any pet, but his most favourite animal is a snake. Bear has a little sister, Penelope, who he drives crazy with his love of critters. From maggots to beetle and even ticks, Bear wants to keep them all as pets.

However, all these critters are causing his sister to have nightmares, which in turn means that their parents get no sleep, so they come up with a plan. They will buy their daughter a kitten who will comfort her and stop her having nightmares. Unfortunately, they are wrong, so the kitten goes back and they come home with a puppy, but that doesn’t go according to plan either.

Will anything help them get a good night’s sleep? Will Bear get his much wanted snake?

Bear with Bear is an unusual book. It is both a fictional and non fictional book. It is a fun, interesting story, based on real events that happened in the author’s life. Hagit R Oron wanted to invite the reader to step behind the scenes and discover the stories that inspired her to write, as well as her family’s pets.

Children can either click on the ‘True Story – Yes or No’ which is at the bottom of each page to find out if that part of the story and interesting facts are true, or they can wait until they get to the end of the book, and read all these added pages together.

I think that it is a great idea, and award Bear with Bear a full five stars.

Hagit R & Or Oron are a mother and daughter who love to create, imagine, laugh and have fun together.

Hagit R is an electronics engineer. She writes computer code by day, but when she takes off her suit she lets her imagination run wild. Really, it takes her to such weird places, words aren’t able to describe.

Or is a graphic designer by day and an illustrator by night. Imagination is the biggest tool in her toolbox. Really, it’s as big as a continent.

Together they are an undefeatable team. Their mission is to bring joy and happiness to kids and parents all around the world. How? One picture book at a time.
