All the students in the class are assigned reading buddies, except for
Adelaide. She already has one, a bear! And Adelaide is quite persuasive
as she explains to her language arts teacher, Mrs. Fitz-Pea, and the
reader, that bears really do make the best reading buddies: they sniff
out good books and their claws are just right for turning pages. And the
bear looks rather friendly (and studious) in these crayon-bright,
contemporary illustrations, making this is must-read picture book for
story time!
