The Very Cranky Bear is back, this time with an itch to scratch! The last time we met Bear, his cave was invaded by four playful animals, and this made him cranky. In The Very Itchy Bear there is just one creature bothering him -- a persistent flea -- and it's making him very itchy! Bear runs over land and sea to escape the affections of this energetic insect, but Flea won't let him go -- he just wants to keep saying hello! When Bear does successfully get rid of Flea, he finds that he misses him. A beautiful new friendship is born! With rhyming text and wonderfully expressive illustrations, Nick Bland's newest effort is the perfect read-aloud, guaranteed to make kids laugh out loud! About the Author Nick Bland always told family and friends he was going to be a cartoonist and a writer, and he began his career in children's literature to bring those two loves together. He is the author of A Monster Wrote Me a Letter and The Very Cranky Bear. He lives in Darwin, Australia where he also works as a guardian for 120 aboriginal boarding students.
