“That’s Going to Hurt!”

"That's going to hurt!" is little bear Clara's refrain as she and her two brothers, Fischer and Brady, go on a honey hunt. Finding a honey hole in an old tree calls for multiple attempts by the boys to reach the prize. Clara picks flowers and watches wide-eyed until success at last -- or is it?

Someone asked me why I chose the names that I did for the three little bears. When I was teaching preschool, I had a bear puppet that I bought at a yardsale. His name was Fischer. I could tell his name was Fischer because he had a nametag . It said, "Fischer Price". The names Brady and Clara just seemed to fit the other little bears. So the names are not taken from anyone I know. However, the personalities may be influenced by those I know!

"Great colorful pictures depict the unique adventures of the young bears.  Great for young readers to predict the outcome of the many challenges the bears face in this story."
--Linda Fowler, retired first grade teacher

 

"I was reading "That's Going To Hurt" to our 2 year-old great-grandson Brady and he sat so still on my lap listening.  All of a sudden he turned to me and said, "That's me!"  He related to the little bear whose name was the same as his.  It is now one of his favorite books."

"This is a really cute book, and great for kids.  It's really fun to read, and even had the adults laughing out loud.  We really loved the pictures.  I hope we get more in this series."
