Donovan is hungry for a special kind of breakfast . . . BEAR!
It's breakfast time and Donovan knows exactly what he wants this
morning! Not eggs, not pancakes, not cereal. No, what he wants is BEAR,
just like his grandfather used to eat for breakfast!
So Donovan sets off to bag a bear of his own, going on an adventurous
hunt through the woods, where he stalks and is stalked by an ant, a
squirrel, and a dog -- but they are not bears, so he shoos them away!
When Donovan finally meets a real, big and growling bear, he quickly
learns that sometimes breakfast tastes best when it doesn't have any
teeth!
This story was inspiredby Donovan, a first-grader in in La Loche,
Saskatchewan, a Chippewancommunity in northern Saskatchewan that Robert
Munsch visited in January, 1990. When Robert asked what the kids liked
to eat, Donovan said that he liked to eat BEAR!
