Synopsis

Rachel Bright's In a Minute, Mama Bear is the first in a new series following Mama Bear and Bella Bear, from the author and illustrator of the #1 Publishers Weekly bestseller Love Monster.

Mama Bear is all ready to start her busy day: there are errands to run, classes to get to, and lots more to do. Mama is raring to go! But toddler Bella is lagging behind. So Mama Bear decides to throw the to-do list out the window and spend the day playing and relaxing in the park with Bella Bear―and together they find that sometimes, when things don’t go as planned, they can still have a whole lot of fun.

From School Library Journal:

PreS-Gr 1-Author/illustrator of the "Love Monster "series presents large scale cartoons in cool colors. A frazzled mother bear tries to get her daughter in gear to face the day's errands. Bella lingers over dressing, requests a large breakfast selection, prefers play to teeth brushing, and nearly forgets her sippy cup for the trek. When a series of red lights further challenges the pair, already late for dance class, Mama beeps and yells. The little one's worried face convinces her mother to chill and they abandon their chores list for a day at the park. Finally, it's Bella who needs to convince mom to get a move on for dinner at home. VERDICT Youngsters will approve of Bella's independent spirit and the large expressive cartoon art. An engaging read-aloud.-Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA
