Bear didn't mean to break a little girl's kite, but she's upset anyway--upset enough to shout "HORRIBLE BEAR!" Bear can't believe it. He's not horrible! But now he's upset, too--upset enough to come up with a truly Horrible Bear idea. In this charming but goofy picture book, readers will learn all about tempers, forgiveness, and friendship as Bear prepares to live up to his formerly undeserved reputation while the little girl realizes that maybe--just maybe--Bear isn't as horrible as she thought.

In this story, a girl is flying her kite and the string breaks. The kite comes down and floats to the inside of a bear's cave. The sleeping bear rolls over and smashes the kite, unintentionally. The girl calls him a horrible bear, waking him up with her shouting, and then stomps home in a temper. The bear is now irritable, having been wakened by an angry little girl, and decides he should give the girl a taste of her own medicine.
In the meantime, the girl causes an accident at home that she, of course, didn't mean to happen. It dawns on her that maybe the bear wasn't horrible after all. The bear stomps to her house to be mean in return, but then ... something else takes place.
This is a good story about forgiveness.
