Oh, no! Bumble Bear is at it again, with another get-in-trouble, honey-hunting shortcut. In Roll Out the Barrel, Bumble Bear is inspired by his sweet-talking cubs, Wear and Tear, who ask the bees for a modest amount of honey and receive it. Forgetting his manners, Bumble Bear finds himself over a barrel in this delightful story about a hasty plan and a hasty retreat! It includes a big lesson about getting greedy. With gorgeous illustrations and an adorable song, “Roll Out the Bear’el,” written and performed by Brian Vander Ark, of the Verve Pipe, this will fast-become a “read it again!” favorite. Turn on narration and page-turning for a little extra help or turn them off for a more self-directed reading experience. The storybook also includes a “paper doll” play activity at the end. Kids can accessorize a giant bumblebee!
