Cat makes out OK when the bear decides to rest in the flower bed, skittering away before the bear lies down.Ĭlean getaways to safety make the bear’s visit to the backyard another cause to count one’s blessings. The dog is, once again, well of harm’s way. And what about Cat and Dog? The bear lifts the wading pool and splashes the cool water all over himself. Chickadee, experiencing the perfect day, makes a clean get away. It really is a perfect day for Squirrel if he does not get squashed by a big brown bear, huh? Next, the bear upends the birdfeeder and downs all the seed. The bear grabs the corn on the cob as the squirrel scurries away from harm. The moment of charm comes when a bear steps into the backyard idyll. The book’s charms extend beyond the recognition of daily life’s little-things-that-are-really-big-and-great. Playing among the daffodils, wading in a pool and watching the birds and squirrels can feel as satisfactory to a youngster as it does to the animals in the story. With its deft text and vibrant illustrations, the story catches the attention of young readers who can appreciate the pleasures of a perfect day. This sweet book sings the praises of simple pleasures that are no further away than the back yard.
