Benjamin the Bear lived in the Deep Forest, where Giselle the Giraffe also lived. Giselle has always wanted Benjamin's luxurious fur coat, and after meeting Benjamine one faithful day, when he went to pick blueberries, she decided to steal it. Giselle planned and executed the heist, leaving poor Benjamin with no hair. Why did Giselle do such a thing? Will Benjamin be able to find out who stole his fur coat, and will he get it back on time before winter comes? Get a copy of The Bear with No Hair and the Mystery of the Stolen Fur Coat: A Story of Friendship and Forgiveness by Michelle Renee Avis to find out.

The things I love most about this book are the illustrations and font. The illustrations in the book are colorful and beautiful. It made reading the book fun. The font is also playful and suitable for the intended audience of the book. This story will teach kids not to take what is not theirs. It will also teach them to apologize when they are wrong. Furthermore, it will teach them the value of friendship and helping people in need.

There are some inconsistencies with the story, which is why I am rating it 4 out of 5 stars. For instance, Benjamin was sleeping when his fur coat was stolen, and he woke up to realize this, much to his despair. Just after that, the author wrote, "When Benjamin returned to find his coat missing, he was devastated." Returned where? He already found out his fur was missing when he woke up, and he hadn't gone out of his lair.

This is a perfect bedtime story for children; hence, I recommend it to parents to use for this purpose. The style of the book includes words like "Snip! Snip! Snip!" for sound, and this will get any child listening to it smiling and interested. Finally, the book was professionally edited.
