Bear Wants to Sing

森を散歩していたクマくん。
茂みの中に、なにやらたくさんのものが落ちてますよ。
それは、いくつもの楽器でした。
クマくんはウクレレを手に取ります。
いい音！
クマくんは自分の歌を作って披露したくなりました。
けれども楽器を手に取って歌い始めたのは、ほかの動物たち。なかなかクマくんの名曲（？）を披露する機会がやってきません。

歌ってみて！
みんなにせかされて、ようやくクマくんはシャウト！
さてさて、クマくんがつくったうたは、どんな感じだったのでしょう。
友だちのやさしい言葉で、あたたかい気持ちになる絵本です。
好きなことは楽しみましょうね！

Bear wants to sing his song, but the other animals won't give him a chance to perform his masterwork in this delightful picture book companion to the critically acclaimed King Mouse.
A bear finds a ukulele in the woods. It makes a nice sound -- PLINK! -- and inspires him to write his own song. His friend Mouse would love to hear it. But Bear isn't the only animal in the forest to find musical inspiration that day, and Snake, Crow and Tortoise keep taking his turn to perform. When they finally give him the opportunity and meet his song with less enthusiasm than he'd like, the discouraged bear shelves his music career forever . . . but the kindness, empathy and appreciation of his best friend will prove that his art deserves recognition and can even inspire others.
This dryly humorous and sweetly profound collaboration between two critically acclaimed children's book creators, a follow-up to the masterful King Mouse, has the makings of a modern classic.
