Bunnybear

By Andrea J. Loney

Although Bunnybear was born a bear, he feels more like a bunny. He prefers bouncing in the thicket to tramping in the forest, and in his heart he's fluffy and tiny, like a rabbit, instead of burly and loud, like a bear. The other bears don't understand him, and neither do the bunnies. Will Bunnybear ever find a friend who likes him just the way he is?

Good on the subject of being who you are, and finding others who are unique. Also, yay Grizzlybun!

Hah the first time I read this, I didn't love it, but once again I read it and grizzlybun made my day, so I think I like this book a lot after all.
