Why read it?
1 author picked The Bear's Toothache as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book for its wacky humor, its kindness, and its great illustrations.
The sleepy dad’s hair sticking up always makes me smile. Not to mention the bear trying to hide under the bed, which is smaller than he is. And I love its gentle sympathy for the clumsily helpful child and the suffering and then grateful bear.
From Rebecca's list on The best classic children’s books to cheer you up and get you to look around.
